Abstract
Software development plays a major role besides hardware setup and mechanical design when it comes to building complex robots such as mobile manipulators or humanoids. Different requirements have to be addressed depending on the application. A low-level controller for example must be implemented for realtime use, whereas a task planning component will interact with the robot on a higher abstraction level. Hence, developing robotics software is subject to several constraints such as performance and robustness.
