About this Item

Print on Demand. This book explores the constraints that define real-time data acquisition and control in robotics and factory automation, providing insights into the evolution of hardware and software in these fields over the past few decades. The author investigates the relationship between raw computing power, memory speeds, and bus speeds, and their impact on control loop times. Real-time problems are classified based on the feasibility of their solutions, and the book discusses how technological advancements can move problems from one category to another. Vision systems are presented as an example problem, and the author explores the challenges in achieving cost-effective, real-time vision processing for robotic applications. This book offers valuable guidance for engineers and researchers working in the design and development of real-time control systems. 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. Seller Inventory # 9781333691271_0

About this title

Synopsis:

Excerpt from Constraints in Real-Time Data Acquisition and Control
When dealing with such times, it is not surprising that instruction rates have not gotten far beyond 1 Mips in ordinary computers. Clearly, much can be gained by moving away from parallel busses as the standard interconnect, and using either faster serial busses, or point-to-point interconnection networks.
