A software framework for agricultural and forestry robotics

Abstract

In this paper we describe on-going development of a generic software framework for development of agricultural and forestry robots. The goal is to provide generic high-level functionality and to encourage distributed and structured programming, thus leading to faster and simplified development of robots. Different aspects of the framework are described using different architecture views. We show how these views complement each other in a way that supports development and description of robot software. 1.
