Synopsis

This book sets out to define a programming language for real-time servo control, referred to as SERVOL. The author, an expert in the field, describes SERVOL's design for writing the innermost, real-time control levels for robotics and other similar situations where sensors need to be read and effectors controlled on a continuous, high-frequency basis. The book includes descriptions of the various classes of variables used by SERVOL, a guide to the interpretation loop and the significance of each step in the loop, and a collection of sample code to demonstrate the functionality of SERVOL. The book also includes a discussion of the system protection and security features built into SERVOL's design, including the use of encrypted passwords and the enforcement of defined controls through the use of the "single assignment rule." This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the design of real-time control systems for robotics and other sensor-effector systems.
