Trends in Component-Based Robotics

Software Engineering for Experimental Robotics

Part of the book series: Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics ((STAR,volume 30))

Abstract

Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) is an approach that has arisen in the software engineering community in the last decade. It aims to shift the emphasis in system-building from traditional programming to composing software systems from a mixture of off-the-shelf and custom-built components [Cas00, HC01, Szy02, DW98, CC01]. Component-Based Software Engineering is said to be primarily concerned with three functions [HC01]:

  1. 1.

    Developing software from pre-produced parts

  2. 2.

    The ability to reuse those parts in other applications

  3. 3.

    Easily maintaining and customizing those parts to produce new functions and features
