The XRCL Project: The University of Arkansas' Entry into the AAAI 1999 Mobile Robot Competition

Abstract

This paper describes a new, open sources robot architecture initiative called the Extensible Robot Control Language (XRCL). This system is designed to provide a modern robot-programming interface which is adaptable and easy to learn. We describe a fuzzy logic control system built on this framework, and examine the system at work in two tasks at the AAAI 1999 Mobile Robot Competition.
