Synopsis
Excerpt from Hierarchical Control System
Hierarchical design is common in computer programs. The reason is two fold. The first is for the user's/programmer's convenience. For instance, an operating system might present disk storage to the programmer as se quential and random access files, hiding the specific details of disk access and file maintenance. Ou top of this are developed text files, indexed files, relational databases, and so 011. Thus the user or programmer is presented with, familiar abstractions suitable for the task at hand. Secondly, hierar chical programming is good software engineering. If one considers a system as having the raw devices on the bottom and the application programs on the top then hierarchical programming represents vertical modularity and all the various advantages of modular programming apply. The specification for each step in the hierarchy can be precisely stated simplifying develop ment. Changes in the underlying hardware need not propagate changes throughout the system but can be handled by the lower levels of the hier archy. Programming modifications and Optimizations can be applied at the appropriate level(s) again without disrupting the entire system.

Hierarchical Control System (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book represents a significant advancement in designing and implementing hierarchical control systems for robot manipulators, such as the renowned Utah/MIT hand. The author, an established expert in the field, provides a comprehensive guide to the Hierarchical Control System (HIC), an operating system specifically developed for low-level robot control functions. HIC manages a hierarchy of servo loops, enabling efficient coordination and communication among various control levels. The book delves into the core principles of HIC, including its unique scheduler for servos and asynchronous events, and its periodic data buffer structure for non-blocking message passing. Through detailed explanations, code examples, and practical insights, the author empowers readers to harness the capabilities of HIC for their own robotic applications. This book serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, engineers, and students seeking to enhance their understanding and expertise in hierarchical control systems for robotics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334272592_0
