Building Languages for Self Rebuilding Robots • Ulrik Pagh Schultz • GOTO 2015

This presentation was recorded at GOTO Copenhagen 2015 http://gotocph.com Ulrik Pagh Schultz - Associate Professor of Robotics and Software Engineering at University of Southern Denmark ABSTRACT Don't ask what robots can do for you, ask what you can do for robotics! Robotic systems blend hardware and software in a holistic way that raises many crosscutting concerns (concurrency, time constraints, safety, ...), for which reason general-purpose [...] Download slides and read the full abstract here: http://gotocon.com/cph-2015/presentation/Building%20Languages%20for%20Self-Rebuilding%20Robots TIMECODES 0:00 Introduction 3:41 A: The robot building kit (*) 6:00 Robot building kit? 7:15 Resilient & Adaptable 9:13 Programmable matter 10:52 This talk: ATRON robot programming (before taking it to Mars) 12:44 Robotics programming 17:17 Domain-specific languages 22:59 First language prototype: Everything's an object? 24:35 #2: Roles for shapes, functions for functionality? 26:59 Roles for functionality! 29:33 #4: The insight: One program distributed across the robot 34:12 #4 (details): Properties [1/2], Robustness and efficiency 35:00 #4 (details): Properties (2/2) Program reversibility 38:12 Industrial robots 40:46 DSL for Reversible Assembly Sequences 41:35 Agricultural robots 42:44 Unmanned Aerial Systems (i.e., flying robots aka drones) 44:26 Lightweight energy efficient robots https://twitter.com/gotocph https://www.facebook.com/GOTOConference http://gotocon.com Looking for a unique learning experience?
