Abstract
In this paper, we discuss an intelligent system architecture for teleoperators (e.g., planetary exploration rovers). This architecture offers advanced flexibility (variability), efficiency, scalability, and transparency. The architecture is composed of two software layers (first and second) and one hardware layer (third). The software layer is divided into two layers to achieve both efficient task construction by the users and management of software modules by the system. To maintain a variable structure and improve accessibility to information, we connect modularized software and hardware via a network. Moreover, to achieve high-speed data communication between software modules, we use a shared memory. Through the proposed architecture we can efficiently perform repairs and consequently enhance the functionality of teleoperator systems. Therefore, our proposed architecture can provide significant contributions to the development and operation of teleoperators.
