Abstract

This paper investigates the efficiency of the real-time embedded system in our humanoid robot, Betty. In this paper we only discuss the upper body of Betty. Based on several experiments of different queue data structures, communication protocols and PID controller implementations, we measured and analysed the latencies and jitters of Betty's responses. The experimental results indicate the best configuration to optimise the performance of Betty's Control Program.
