Abstract: A modeling and analysis tool based on Petri nets which allows a performance analysis of a system during the design stage is presented. The performance analysis criterion is taken as the response time of the system. This response time takes into account image processing time, a trajectory planning time, control execution time, etc. The result is a common modeling methodology for handling such diverse functions as control, communication, computation, and database problems. Approaches are presented to modeling and analysis of integrated systems.
Keywords: performance analysis (of) robotic control architecture; response time; image processing time; trajectory planning time; control execution time; database; integrated system.
