In this paper, a method of composition for a multimicroprocessor robotic systems and a concrete example of a mobile anthropomorphic manipulator are discussed. There are many methods to compose multimicroprocessor systems for robots and complex mechatronic units. It is most advantageous for multiple degrees of freedom robots to introduce a concurrent system employing microcomputers designed on the premise of parallel connection, as it is easy to realize high speed and efficiency. In addition, hardware and software design as well as related debugging is very easy. A mobile anthropomorphic manipulator (WAM-9) with 7 d.o.f. in the arm, 16 d.o.f. in the hand and 3 d.o.f. in the body has been developed aimed at improving the robot dexterity. The control system of WAM-9 employs a 32-bit ""Transputer"" parallel processing microcomputer. This system includes about 20 transputers and is modeled after the human central nervous system.

Architecture and development examples of high-speed vision are shown first in the sections that follow, then target tracking using active vision is explained. High-speed vision applied to robot control, design guidelines, and the development system for a high-speed robot are then introduced as examples. High-speed robot tasks, including dynamic manipulation and handling of soft objects, are explained and then book flipping scanning – an image analysis application – is explained followed by 1 ms auto pan/tilt and micro visual feedback, which are optical applications. </span>

<p>The firefighting robot control using intelligent Extenics control interfaces ICEx developed by versatile, intelligent and portable robot VIPRO platform is presented. Subsequently, VIPRO platform architecture, the innovative versatile, intelligent, portable platform, is applied on firefighting robots VIP- FiR&amp;FiTRo, Extenics intelligent control and Universe of Discourse in an Extenics Transformation are detailed.  The Extenics Control Method with Fuzzy Smoothing is developed and tested using a simple DC motor configuration in the Matlab / Simulink programming environment. A sequence for the Intelligent Control Interface Code integrated into the VIPRO is presented. The results prove the possibilities for tweaking and optimizing by intelligent Extenics control developed on VIPRO platform in order to obtain improved performance are virtually limitless.</p>
