Abstract

In the recent years, improvements in robotic hardware have not been matched by advancements in robotic software and the gap between those two areas has been widening. To cope with the increasing complexity of novel robotic embedded systems an integrated and continuous software development process is required supporting different development activities and stages being integrated into an overall development methodology, supported by libraries, elaborated tools and toolchains. For an efficient development of robotic systems a seamless integration between different activities and stages is required. In the domain of automotive systems, such an overall development methodology, consisting of different development activities/stages and supported by elaborated libraries, tools and toolchains, already exists. In this paper, we show how to adapt an existing methodology for the development of automotive embedded systems for being applicable on robotic systems.
