Abstract
The software development process in robotics has been changing in recent years. Instead of developing monolithic programs for specific robots, programmers are using software components to build all kinds of robotic applications. As discussed in Chapter Trends in Component-Based Robotics of this book [Bru06], component based development offers several advantages such as reuse of code, increased robustness, modularity and maintainability.
