UPE: Utah Prototyping
Previous: Background
The proposed environment consists of several subsystems each of which carry out certain tasks to build the prototype robot. These subsystems share many parameters and information. To maintain the integrity and consistency of the whole system, a central interface (CI) is proposed with the required rules and protocols for passing information. This interface is the layer between the robot prototype and the subsystems, and it also serves as a communication channel between the different subsystems.
