Abstract

In ubiquitous environments, the real-time features are necessary to insure the QoS of the intelligent service robots. In this paper, we design and implement a real-time framework for intelligent service robots to support real-time features. The real-time framework to support real-time scheduling services is implemented on the general operating systems. We solve the problem that the scheduler of a general operating system can not support real-time features. This paper also proposes realtime scheduling services to guarantee the QoS of real-time robot applications. We implemented the proposed real-time framework on the Windows operating system and conducted some performance experiments. The experimental results show that the proposed real-time framework can improve thread response times and it has slight performance overhead of $62{\mu}s$.

유비쿼터스 환경에서 지능형 서비스 로봇의 실시간성 기술은 QoS를 보장하기 위해서 필수 불가결한 요소이다. 본 논문에서는 지능형 서비스 로봇에 실시간성을 지원하는 실시간 프레임워크를 설계 및 구현한 내용을 기술한다. 실시간 스케줄링 서비스를 제공하는 실시간 프레임워크는 범용 운영체제를 기반으로 동작하며, 범용 운영체제에서 제공하는 스케줄러의 실시간성 미 지원 문제를 해결한다. 본 논문에서는 또한 실시간 로봇 애플리케이션에 QoS를 보장하기 위한 실시간 스케줄링 서비스를 제안한다. 제안된 실시간 프레임워크의 성능 평가를 위해 윈도우즈 운영체제 상에 구현하였다. 실험 결과를 통해 쓰레드의 응답시간 향상과 실시간 프레임워크 탑재에 따른 성능상의 오버 헤드가 $62{\mu}s$로 미미하다는 것을 알 수 있다.
