Development of Devices for Decentralized Autonomous Systems Research

-Design, Implementation, and Evaluation of Mechanical and Electronic Control Units-

Abstract

In recent years, as computer technology and other technologies have become more sophisticated and faster, information has become more diverse and voluminous, and centralized management of information has become more common. However, while centralized information management systems such as those currently in use enable centralized management of information, they lack diversity, flexibility, and fault tolerance, and this has become a major detriment to more complex, large-scale systems. Therefore, it is considered most efficient to introduce an autonomous decentralized system that has high reliability and processing capacity, can change quickly and flexibly, and is used in combination with a centralized management system. In this study, we focused on autonomous decentralized systems and evaluated the mechanical and electronic control sections of a prototype four-wheeled vehicle in order to conduct an actual machine-based study.
