RPSL meets lightning: A model-based approach to design space exploration of robot perception systems
(2017)
We present a universal modular robot architecture. A robot consists of the following intelligent modules: central control unit (CCU), drive, actuators, a vision unit and sensor input unit. Software and hardware of the robot fit into this structure. We define generic interface protocols between these units. If the robot has to solve a new application and is equipped with a different drive, new actuators and different sensors, only the program for the new application has to be loaded into the CCU. The interfaces to the drive, the vision unit and the other sensors are plug-and-play interfaces. The only constraint for the CCU-program is the set of commands for the actuators.
Competitions for Benchmarking: Task and Functionality Scoring Complete Performance Assessment
(2015)
As robots are becoming ubiquitous and more capable, the need for introducing solid robot software development methods is pressing to increase robots' task spectrum. This thesis is concerned with improving software engineering of robot perception systems. The presented research employs a model-based approach to provide the means to represent knowledge about robotics software. The thesis is divided into three parts, namely research on the specification, deployment and adaptation of robot perception systems.
This paper presents the b-it-bots RoboCup@Work team and its current hardware and functional architecture for the KUKA youBot robot. We describe the underlying software framework and the developed capabilities required for operating in industrial environments including features such as reliable and precise navigation, flexible manipulation and robust object recognition.
