Title |
Research and development on function sharing via networks in distributed systems |
Job Summary and Essential/Desirable Skills and Experience |
We will design connection functions through network-based function modules and task sharing for numerous robots, drones, and other systems, as well as peripheral functions for stable operation of these systems. In addition, we will consider measures to deal with connections and asynchronous state of operating information due to communication delays and information loss, and design and realize data management mechanisms and data flow control functions on the network. A fundamental technology will be established to integrate these functions and implement network intelligence on a shared network.
