NYMPH: A multiprocessor for manipulation applications
Abstract
The robotics group of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory is currently developing a new computational system for robotics applications. Stanford's NYMPH system uses multiple NSC 32016 processors and one MC68010 based processor, sharing a common Intel Multibus. The 32K processors provide the raw computational power needed for advanced robotics applications, and the 68K provides a pleasant interface with the rest of the world. Software has been developed to provide useful communications and synchronization primitives, without consuming excessive processor resources or bus bandwidth. NYMPH provides both large amounts of computing power and a good programming environment, making it an effective research tool.
