Abstract
This paper describes the experience of the DSIE research group in the developing of the EFTCoR family of robots using an abstract architectural framework ACRoSeT, following the component-based paradigm. Using abstract components allow us to define very different architectures in a platform independent way. The translation of the abstract components to platform specific code is a hard and difficult task that can be partially automated with the help of the model transformation tools provided by the MDE approach.
