Completed initial detailed design of TDL (Task-Description Language), a high-level task-definition language that will serve as a basis for the TCM design tool.
Began implementation of a design tool for graphically defining task-level, concurrent programs.
Identified application at Stanford ARL (dual-arm manufacturing testbed) for use in demonstrating integrated architecture.
Begin implementation of TDL.
Continue development of graphical design tool.
Begin to formalize TDL, to serve as a basis for TCM analysis tool.
Work with RTI and Stanford to create requirements for the dual-arm manipulation demonstration.
Work with Metrica/JSC to identify possible useds of TDL/TCM in their 3T architecture.
