Abstract

Abstract: We aim at improving sharability and reusability of software for autonomous mobile robots without sacrificing real-time capabilities. As a first step towards this goal, we focus on real-time Linux and we introduce the concept of a robotic hardware abstraction layer that provides for software reusability on different types of hardware and in real-time or non real-time context. We also present a preliminary implementation using RTAI Linux on the tour-guiding robot RoboX. 1
