| 20100115524 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THREAD PROCESSING ROBOT SOFTWARE COMPONENTS - An apparatus for thread processing robot software components includes a data port unit for storing input data in a buffer and then processing the data in a periodic execution mode or in a dedicated execution mode; an event port unit for processing an input event in a passive execution mode; and a method port unit for processing an input method call in the passive execution mode by calling a user-defined method corresponding to the method call. In the periodic execution mode, the data is processed by using an execution thread according to a period of a corresponding component. In the dedicated execution mode, a dedicated thread for the data is created and the data is processed by using the dedicated thread. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100161836 | METHOD PORT ARRANGEMENT AND CONFIGURATION METHOD THEREOF FOR ROBOT SOFTWARE COMPONENT - A configuration method of a method port arrangement for robot software component includes: generating a requester method port module and a provider method port module; generating a requester method module and a provider method module depending on application of a method module to be generated in the component; registering the requester method module in the requester method port module and the provider method module in the provider method port module; and registering, in a method port management module, the requester method port module and the provider method port module where the requester method module and the provider method module have been registered. The method further includes establishing the requester method port module to be operated by interconnecting the requester method port module and the provider method port module; and executing input and output operations to/from the requester method port or the provider method port depending on application of the component. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100168911 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING ROBOT COMPONENTS - An apparatus for managing robot components in an intelligent robot includes a robot application including a plurality of robot components, a robot application management tool that manages the operation of the robot application, monitors the status caused by the operations of the robot application and information on the robot components, a lifecycle manager that manages lifecycles of the robot components under the management of the robot application management tool, and an operation system that transfers a sensing signal about peripheral environment generated from the sensor to the robot application, and transfers an execution signal from the robot application to the actuator. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20110153073 | FAULT TOLERANCE METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ROBOT SOFTWARE COMPONENT - An apparatus for performing fault tolerance against a failure occurring during driving robot software components includes: a component executor for executing the robot software components, which are assigned with one thread from an operating system and have a same priority and cycle, by using the assigned thread; and an executor monitor for periodically monitoring the operation of the component executor and determining whether or not there is a failure in the robot software components executed by the component executor. The apparatus further includes: an executor manager for generating the component executor which is assigned with the robot software components having the same priority and cycle and, when the executor monitor determines that there is a failure in the execution of the robot software components, generating a new component executor. | 06-23-2011 |
