Possible Future Extensions

The following are some possible extensions and enhancements to the current design.

• Complete implementation for the central interface with more functionality and a user friendly interface.
• Use a database query language to enable generating more sophisticated queries and to enhance the report generating capabilities.
• Implement some of the subsystems with their SSIs and increase the automation in these interfaces.
• Extend this environment to deal with generic n-link robots by using automatic generation of the kinematics and dynamics equations. Also this will require a robot description language to specify the robot configuration and parameters.
• Implement the PC version of the controller to enable using any PC to control the robot.
• Use special hardware solution to implement some parts of the communication and the control.
