ROS-lite2: Autonomous-driving Software Platform for Clustered Many-core Processor

摘要

In intelligent robotics, which spans from assistive devices to automation, the development of autonomous systems merges computational and physical capabilities, such as in autonomous wheelchairs. Many-core processor, essential for real-time operations, pose challenges to software adaptability. This paper introduces ROS-lite2, which is a software platform for autonomous vehicles, utilizing a ROS 2 framework based on many-core processor to boost flexibility and simplify deployment. Our method facilitates complex function integration and intuitive operation with less hardware knowledge. Experiments with an autonomous wheelchair demonstrate the platform’s effectiveness in improving autonomy and reducing development effort, advancing robotic assistance.
