System diagram

Proposals

• System design draft proposed by Csaba (JHU)

Issues

Suggested by Csaba:

• Connection between RT Scanner IO and Robot Controller.
  • The robot controller should get z-frame postion data from the navigation software
• Recovering packet loss (especially for command events).
  • Each subsystem keeps sending status information every several seconds / or ACK message when command received

System Design (Draft)
