| Abstract | Coordinating mobile robots are widely used in commercial and industrial settings to fulfill various tasks. However, to program the coordination among mobile robots is challenging. A coordination framework is needed to shield the programmer from handling low-level details of robot control and communication, while supporting flexible and cost-effective coordination at the same time. The coordination framework should also be able to well coexist with the underlying robot control. To this end, we propose the Coordination-enabled Behavior-Based Robotics (CBBR) framework. CBBR employs Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) to support coordination. The shared memory illusion built by the DSM greatly simplifies the coordination logic. Moreover, the flexible access patterns of the DSM and the rich consistency semantics of the DSM reads and writes enable flexible and cost-effective coordination. With the coordination support from the DSM, CBBR naturally extends the classical Behavior-Based Robotics (BBR) for robot control. From the perspective of robot control using BBR, the shared variables in the DSM act as the logical sensors capturing the status of coordination. The coordination algorithms are encapsulated into coordination behaviors. Thus, the physical environment status and the coordination status may trigger the physical and the coordination behaviors. The scheduling of both types of behaviors integrates coordination into robot control. We conduct a case study to demonstrate the use of CBBR. The performance measurements show the cost-effectiveness of coordinating mobile robots based on CBBR, in terms of time, space, and energy consumption. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
