This paper presents a chess-playing robot and its control system based on SERCOS. Thanks to Windows NT operating system and RTX real-time extension, the control system is excellent in real-time property. The whole system, supported by a standard IPC hardware platform and a modularized architecture of system software, is open-ended and expansible. In addition, the chess-playing software makes a contribution to the excellent interaction between players and the chess-playing robot.

This paper presents the control system of a chess-playing robot developed by the Research Institute of Robots at the Shanghai Jiaotong University. Thanks to the Windows NT operation system and the RTX (Real-Time eXtension), the whole system can achieve good real-time performance. The control system, which is supported by a standard PC hardware platform and a modularized structure of system software, is open-ended and easily expansible.

This paper presents a data fusion system of chess-playing robot based on SERCOS. Owing to the environment of Windows NT + RTX, especially the SERCOS bus interface card, the control system is excellent in real-time property, more importantly, the highly efficiency of data fusion and image processing is guaranteed and therefore the good interaction between people and robot is ensured.

The purpose of the mixed-mode system research is to handle devices with the accuracy of real-time systems and at the same time, having all the benefits and facilities of a matured Graphic User Interface (GUI) operating system which is typically nonreal-time. This mixed-mode operating system comprising of a real-time portion and a non-real-time portion was studied and implemented to identify the feasibilities and performances in practical applications (in the context of scheduled the real-time events). In this research an i8751 microcontroller-based hardware was used to measure the performance of the system in real-time-only as well as non-real-time-only configurations. The real-time portion is an 486DX-40 IBM PC system running under DOS-based realtime kernel and the non-real-time portion is a Pentium III based system running under Windows NT. It was found that mixed-mode systems performed as good as a typical realtime system and in fact, gave many additional benefits such as simplified/modular programming and load tolerance.

Recent years, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has gained great attention and importance both in civil and military applications all over the world. Ground Monitoring and Control System (GMCS) is an important part of the entire unmanned helicopter system. As UAV develops rapidly, the functions and tasks are becoming increasingly complex, and the ground control station needs to collect more data. In addition, establishing a real-time and reliable communication system has become an important part of the control system of UAVs. The μC/OS-II operating system has the characteristics of modular application which can be used for multiple task operations, and can satisfy the requirement of real time system very well. And the system was successfully applicable to practical UAV fighter and the setting up of The Ground Monitoring Station.

A design proposal for developing a high-precision timer of the real-time digital copying control system is put forward by analyzing the real-time characteristics of Windows 2000 operating system. Proposals of using information systems timer—WM_TIMER, multimedia timer, VxD and hardware to achieve high-precision timing in Windows operating system are analyzed and compared. Based on computer high-frequency timer and multi-thread technology, timing function provided by Microsoft Visual C++ is used to achieve a high-precision software timer of the system. Finally, the researched timing method is tested in Advantech IPC-610 host with Intel Pentium 4 processor, and the maximum timing error is less than 5μs which meets the system timing requirements.
