Abstract

Industrial robotics is characterized by sophisticated mechanical components and highly-developed control algorithms. However, the efficient use of robotic systems – with regard to flexibility, reusability and extensibility – is very much limited by existing programming methods. As a consequence, software development for industrial robots is a complex and time-consuming task which generates considerable costs. This work performs an analysis of the current software development for robotics systems and identifies shortcomings from a software engineering point of view. Based on that, it outlines an architectural approach that addresses the identified problems and allows efficient software development for industrial robotic systems.
