A Robotic-agent Platform For Embedding Software Agents using Raspberry Pi and Arduino Boards
Nilson Mori Lazarin, Carlos Eduardo Pantoja · 2015
This paper presents a robotic-agent platform to embed software agents into hardware devices. The platform consists in embed Jason framework in Raspberry Pi, allowing directly control of its pins, in order to control hardware devices, and Arduino to control sensors/actuators. So, it is necessary to prepare both hardware and software, and establish a communication between them. For this, it was developed the Javino library, which is a communication protocol for exchange messages between Java and Arduino using a serial port. It is also presented a three step methodology for supporting the robotic-agent development. An example using the proposed platform and methodology is presented. It was chosen a vehicle chassis, as the hardware robot, that is able to move and deviate from obstacles.
