| Summary: | Autonomous robots are complex systems that require the interaction between numerous heterogeneous
components (software and hardware). Because of the increase in complexity of robotic
applications and the diverse range of hardware, robotic middleware is designed to manage the
complexity and heterogeneity of the hardware and applications, promote the integration of new
technologies, simplify software design, hide the complexity of low-level communication and the
sensor heterogeneity of the sensors, improve software quality, reuse robotic software infrastructure
across multiple research efforts, and to reduce production costs. This paper presents a literature
survey and attribute-based bibliography of the current state of the art in robotic middleware design.
The main aim of the survey is to assist robotic middleware researchers in evaluating the
strengths and weaknesses of current approaches and their appropriateness for their applications.
Furthermore, we provide a comprehensive set of appropriate bibliographic references that are classified
based on middleware attributes. |
