| Urbi: a new parallel & event-driven script language for robotics, games and more |
 |
Google Tech Talks
July 7, 2008
ABSTRACT
Urbi is a middleware for concurrent and
distributed programming, based on a new
parallel and event-driven script language
called 'urbiScript'. Using a familiar and
easy-to-use syntax, the language offers
several concurrent abstractions rooted in the
language semantics, together with an
integrated scheduler and a distributed
component architecture called UObject, based
on C++ or Java. urbiScript acts as an
orchestrator to build interactions/behaviors
between distributed UObjects. Successful
applications of Urbi are now mostly in
robotics, especially in the upcoming
Robocup'08 events, but extensions to video
games and complex systems programming are
envisioned. Graphical tools have recently
been added to the Urbi suite to create
hierarchical finite state machines and to
provide advanced debugging features. J.C.
Baillie, the author of Urbi, will give a
detailed technical presentation of the key
aspects of this new technology, and show
demonstrations of the "Urbi Studio" graphical
tools with the Aibo robot.

Speaker: Dr. Jean-Christophe Baillie
Dr. Jean-Christophe Baillie graduated in
Computer Science and Physics from the Ecole
Polytechnique, Paris. He received the PhD in
Artificial Intelligence from University of
Paris 6 and Sony Computer Science Lab and
then founded the Cognitive Robotics Lab in
ENSTA/ParisTech. During 4 years he worked on
developmental robotics research with an
extension of the Talking Heads experiment
initiated by Luc Steels (Sony CSL). During
the course of his researches, he designed
Urbi as a tool to control complex robotics
systems like the Aibo. In 2006, he founded
Gostai, to further develop the Urbi
technology and he is now directing the
company, while keeping an active part in the
R activities. He received in 2007 the "Pierre
Faurre" award from the Polytechnique
Foundation.
