Middleware and Distributed Coordination of Multi-Robot Systems

Overview

Robotic middleware has become the key to reducing the complexity of multi-robot application development, existing works still have limitations in controlling multiple robots to perform missions cooperatively. We propose GraphWare, a novel middleware that provides a graph-oriented programming abstraction and its underlying runtime kernel for programming and building multi-robot cooperation applications. We aim to develop robotic middleware that can reduce the complexity of multi-robot application development.
