Synopsis

This book explores the constraints that define real-time data acquisition and control in robotics and factory automation, providing insights into the evolution of hardware and software in these fields over the past few decades. The author investigates the relationship between raw computing power, memory speeds, and bus speeds, and their impact on control loop times. Real-time problems are classified based on the feasibility of their solutions, and the book discusses how technological advancements can move problems from one category to another. Vision systems are presented as an example problem, and the author explores the challenges in achieving cost-effective, real-time vision processing for robotic applications. This book offers valuable guidance for engineers and researchers working in the design and development of real-time control systems.
