Hi,
I'm working on building a 4-wheeled robot (dimensions: around 1mx1mx1m) with pneumatic controlled arms and various sensors attached. The robot is currently being controlled using a single Arduino Mega controller. Directions for movement are given using an interfaced gamepad.
I read about Distributed Control Systems and was interested in implementing a kind of DCS for controlling the robot more efficiently. Will implementing DCS have any added benefits over a single controller for a 4-wheeled mobile robot? What all can be done by implementing DCS?
Also please suggest some resources for learning and implementing such a system, as I couldn't find much through googling.
