eVision Systems’ Distributed Robotic Processing Network (DRPN) reduces network traffic, decentralization, increased robustness and fault tolerance. This system architecture ensures maximum processing power in an inflexible environment.

Consider the possibility of a single robot experiencing hardware failure therefore rendering the mission incomplete. The DRPN system eliminates this by housing data in a centralized location. Once information that a hardware failure has occurred, has been received, another robot team member takes its place. Additionally, this process can also occur on the single robot itself. Because each robot has access to seven possible processing elements, if a processing element on the Robot is damaged then the additional six processing elements will continue the mission to completion. Therefore dividing or distributing the task to another location (s). This transfer of information and processing is possible through the use of the DRPN system where all robots are part of a Robots Near Me (RNM) network.

The result is absolute, responsive Robot (s) with high availability which are composed of DRPN’s parallel processing architecture enabling multi-asynchronous communication.

eVision Systems Robotic software utilizes the Peer Name Resolution Protocol (PNRP) ROBOTS NEAR ME (RNM) and Peer Channels components which enable all Robots in the same proximity to process jobs as a team.  If one Robot in the team has a large job to process this job can be processed in parallel across the Robot team.

The illustration below further describes Peer Name Resolution Protocol (PNRP), ROBOTS NEAR ME (RNM) and Peer Channels.
