Abstract

In order to achieve flexibility and reusability in mobile robot development, we present a component-based robotic framework with its adaptive component model, MiniROS. It provides data, signal and service port as inter-component interfaces so that developers can design complex robot behaviors with data-based, control-based or service-based paradigm. In addition, a strategy is introduced to allow member components of a robot to automatically adjust the structure and parameters by themselves according to the environment and tasks. Finally we show an example application using our component-based model.
