— Portable, modular and extensible software allows robotics researchers to pool their resources by sharing algorithms, thus advancing research in the field of robotics at a fast...
ct-oriented modules that create an abstract interface for a specific class of hardware or software components. If these components provide "intelligent" functions, the ov...
Abstract— There is a growing interest in building Internetscale sensor networks that integrate sensors from around the world into a single unified system. In contrast, robotics ...
The topic of reusable software in robotics is now largely addressed. Components based architectures, where components are independent units that can be reused accross applications,...
Abstract. We present a technique for designing reconfiguration controllers in the Fractal component-based framework. We obtain discrete control loops that automatically enforce saf...
