The Robot Operating System (ROS) is the de-facto standard for robotic software. If on one
hand ROS is helping roboticists, eg, by providing a standardized communication platform …

Distributed robotic systems rely heavily on the publish–subscribe communication paradigm
and middleware frameworks that support it, such as the Robot Operating System (ROS), to …

Abstract Context: The Robot Operating System (ROS) is the de-facto standard for robotics
software. However, ROS-based systems are getting larger and more complex and could …

Robot systems are growing in importance and complexity. Ecosystems for robot software,
such as the Robot Operating System (ROS), provide libraries of reusable software …

Robots are currently deployed in safety-critical domains but proper techniques to assess the
functional safety of their software are yet to be adopted. This is particularly critical in ROS …

As robotic systems such as autonomous cars and delivery drones assume greater roles and
responsibilities within society, the likelihood and impact of catastrophic software failure …

Self-adaptive systems increasingly need to reason about and adapt both structural and
behavioral system aspects, such as in mobile service robots, which must reason about …

Robotics systems are complex, safety-critical systems that can consist of hundreds of
software components that interact with each other dynamically during run time. Software …

In this paper, we leverage the newly integrated extended Berkely Packet Filters (eBPF) and
eXpress Data Path (XDP) to build ROS-FM, a high-performance inline network-monitoring …

Abstract Model-driven engineering (MDE) addresses central aspects of robotics software
development. MDE could enable domain experts to leverage the expressiveness of models …
