Abstract

This new edition of the SDIR workshop will focus on a peculiar aspect of robot software development, that is design of real–time robot behaviour. Usually, robot software design builds on high level abstractions such as concurrent execution, instantaneous computation, zero delay, and perfect communication between components and/or between components and the external environment. Real–time behaviour is then achieved by experimentation and measurement on specific platforms in order to adjust design parameters. This is a typical scenario that limits the reusability of valuable robotic software systems. Nevertheless, many successful robotic applications are not based on hard real–time systems and even do not explicitly address time constraints. Keywords: – Analysis of issues and challenges in robotic software development – Architectural models that lead to reusable robotic software design – Middleware services and reusable components for real time robot software systems – Description of state–of–the art research projects, innovative ideas, field–based studies
