This project addresses concern that robots encounter great difficulty           in performing complex manipulation tasks because their control systems          are unable to meet the real time demands of advanced control                    algorithms.  The research goal is to address this issue by improving a          recently developed computer architecture which has shown promise in             this area.  The architecture combines multiprocessing and vector                processing to achieve extremely high computational speeds.  Some                preliminary effort has been devoted to the development of the concept           entitled Robotic Instruction Processing System (RIPS).  The research            objectives of the project are (a) to optimize the RIPS architecture by          analyzing operating system requirements, high level language compiler           requirements, overall execution speed, idle processor time, breaks in           the execution pipeline, and requirements on memory and register file            size, and (b) to perform cooperative manipulation of two robot arms             using a dynamic force control method.  The RIPS architecture is to be           optimized by performing two experiments, one involving the development          of a two arm robot control system, and the second involving the design          of system software.
