ARCS6 – Technical
-
What is ARCS6?
ARCS6 is a robot control framework specialized for motion control.
-
What are the most important features of ARCS6?
One of the most important feature of ARCS6 is that real-time control is possible on a general-purpose Linux OS such as AlmaLinux. It does not require patches to the Linux kernel like Xenomai or RT-Preempt. Eliminating patches allows real-time control code to run on a well-tested and reliable kernel.
-
How does ARCS6 allow real-time control on non-real-time Linux?
ARCS6 achieves real-time control without modifying the Linux kernel by occupying one of the CPU cores.
-
Is ARCS6 an OS?
No, ARCS6 is not an OS. ARCS6 is software that runs on Linux.
-
Is ARCS6 a hard real-time system?
No, ARCS6 is a soft realtime system. Therefore ARCS6 may sometimes fail to keep the control period.
ARCS6 – non-technical
-
What is the license for ARCS6?
It is BSD 2 clause license.
-
Is ARCS6 available for commercial use?
Yes, it is available for commercial use. However, redistribution of source code or binaries must retain or reproduce a license.
-
Who is developing ARCS6?
Associate Professor Yuki Yokokura of Nagaoka University of Technology is leading the development.
-
Can I request ARCS6 technical consultation or a prototype using ARCS6?
Yes. Please contact the department in charge at Nagaoka University of Technology.
