Abstract
This paper presents the experience of Uninova on the European Commission's (EC) ESPRIT III project 6660 - RoadRobot - Operator Assisted Mobile Road Robot for Heavy Duty Civil Engineering Applications.
The objective of RoadRobot (currently on its fourth and last year) is the development of a generic multipurpose control architecture for integrated outdoor building sites composed by mobile heavy-duty platforms. This architecture is demonstrated by applying it to road building. The experience on the definition of the hardware and software architecture capable of supporting this type of applications is presented and the data modelling,supported by ISO 10303 - STEP, is then summarised.
Some focus is put on the Univova's STEP-based Integration Platform, which is the tool used to facilitate the task of integrating the RoadRobot's heterogeneous software packages. The paper concludes with a brief presentation of the relevant results of the project.
