Abstract
Application frameworks play a major role in fostering reusability of robotic software solutions. Frameworks foster the reuse of code and design and offer a convenient model of object-oriented extensibility. They provide a powerful concept for providing generic components of well-understood, modular solutions for robotics. Nevertheless, few such frameworks exist in robotics, especially at the application level.
