Dynamic collaborative robotic platform - A brief introduction

摘要

This paper presents a design for a platform of collaborative robots and electronic devices. The platform design is based on the similarity between the type, functionality and characteristics of the robot or device. We categorize the participating devices by functionality rather than by architecture, therefore making it easy to support new robots or devices with similar functions but different architectures. This approach also allows users to develop, implement and port applications quickly and easily. We demonstrate the efficacy and correctness of our platform through a variety of robotic applications ranging from research to teaching.
