A Flexible Software Architecture for Robotic Industrial Applications

The paper introduce a robotics software control architecture suitable for the development of complete robotic industrial applications. The architecture fuse the state-of-the-art software technologies in a single standalone platform to provide an easy integration between all the software components necessary to control a robotic application, i.e. PLC logic, robot motion program. The main goal is to provide an architecture as much as possible hardware agnostic to develop easily portable software.
