Architecture, the backbone of robotic systems
Conference Paper, Proceedings of (ICRA) International Conference on Robotics and Automation, Vol. 1, pp. 67 - 72, April, 2000
Abstract
Architectures form the backbone of complete robotic systems. The right choice of architecture can go a long way in facilitating the specification, implementation and validation of robotic systems. Conversely, of course, the wrong choice can make one's life miserable. We present some of the needs of robotic systems, describe some general classes of robot architectures, and discuss how different architectural styles can help in addressing those needs. The paper, like the field itself, is somewhat preliminary, yet it is hoped that it will provide guidance for those who use, or develop, robot architectures.
