Software architecture for YOLO, a creativity-stimulating robot

Towards a Generic Software Architecture for a Service Robot Controller

Embedded computer control systems rely on software for performing their functions. These systems are essentially real-time systems and traditionally the research on these systems has been focused on functionality and performance. However, quality attributes as modifiability, portability, etc. are very important for developing high quality computer control software. One way of rising high qualit...

Designing Dynamic Software Architecture for Home Service Robot Software

Behavior, situations and environmental changes in embedded software, such as robot software, are hard to expect at software design time. To deal with dynamic behavior, situations and environmental changes at runtime, current software engineering practices are not adequate due to the hardness of software modification. An approach to resolve this problem could be making software really “soft” tha...

Software and Hardware Architecture of a Mobile Robot for Manufacturing

We discuss the questions posed for the workshop in light of our experience gained over the past seven years developing a succession of implemented mobile robots for application in industry, most notably in manufacturing. We also discuss mobile robot projects that seem realistic over the next five to ten years.

NUClear: A Loosely Coupled Software Architecture for Humanoid Robot Systems

This paper discusses the design and interface of NUClear, a new hybrid messagepassing architecture for embodied humanoid robotics. NUClear is modular, has low latency, and promotes functional and expandable software design. It greatly reduces the latency for messages passed between modules as the message routes are established at compile time. It also reduces the number of functions that must b...
