Abstract

Robotics is a research area in which the use of software platforms became more challenging, mainly since hardware designs entered a mature phase, open source micro-controllers are accessible now more than ever, providing rich, stable and low-cost hardware platforms. The challenge in this work is to provide a software platform to manage the complexity of controlling and handling hardware components of a robotic system. Over the past decade, several robotic software platforms appeared, offering solutions to the recurrent problems. In this paper we introduce a Component-As-Agent Approach used in a Multi Agent System context, and we present a novel middle-ware system software design and implementation, using the Component-As-Agent approach.
