The document discusses the RELATE software architecture which uses a modular design and blackboard for relative positioning measurements, the RELATE hardware architecture featuring a cube platform for integrating sensing modalities like ultrasound and magnetic, and a demo integrating ultrasound and magnetic sensing on the cube platform.
![Modular Software Design
• Module Framework
– Decoupled rapid development of new relative measurement
modules
– Platform independent (PC,MCU,DSP,Simulation)
– Common interface abstractions
• distance, angle [2d/3d], distance indicator, location
• Support for measurement qualities (variance, fuzzy measure)
• Blackboard
– Simple tuple based Abstraction Distributed Programming
– Implements Module Framework
– Add Location specific paradigms to tuple space
• Distance, Location, Angle
– Added support for querying
– Abstracts various underlying network algorithms/topologies
