The Robot Operating System (ROS) is a popular robotics middleware framework. In the last years, it underwent a redesign and reimplementation under the name ROS~2. It now features QoS-configurable communication and a flexible layered architecture. Micro-ROS is a variant developed specifically for resource-constrained microcontrollers (MCU). Such MCUs are commonly used in robotics for sensors and actuators, for time-critical control functions, and for safety. While the execution management of ROS 2 has been addressed by an Executor concept, its lack of real-time capabilities make it unsuitable for industrial use. Neither defining an execution order nor the assignment of scheduling parameters to tasks is possible, despite the fact that advanced real-time scheduling algorithms are well-known and available in modern RTOSs. For example, the NuttX RTOS supports a variant of the reservation-based scheduling which is very attractive for industrial applications: It allows to assign execution time budgets to software components so that a system integrator can thereby guarantee the real-time requirements of the entire system. This paper presents for the first time a ROS~2 Executor design which enables the real-time scheduling capabilities of the operating system. In particular, we successfully demonstrate the budget-based scheduling of the NuttX RTOS with a micro-ROS application on an STM32 microcontroller.
Over the past few years, a number of successful humanoid platforms have been developed, including the Nao and the DARwIn-OP, both of which are used by many research groups for the investigation of bipedal walking, full-body motions, and human-robot i
We introduce ROS-X-Habitat, a software interface that bridges the AI Habitat platform for embodied reinforcement learning agents with other robotics resources via ROS. This interface not only offers standardized communication protocols between embodi
A model has been proposed in [Baruah et al., in Proceedings of the IEEE Real-Time Systems Symposium 2012] for representing recurrent precedence-constrained tasks to be executed on multiprocessor platforms, where each recurrent task is modeled by a di
We present an implementation of SOTER, a run-time assurance framework for building safe distributed mobile robotic (DMR) systems, on top of the Robot Operating System (ROS). The safety of DMR systems cannot always be guaranteed at design time, especi
Force control is essential for medical robots when touching and contacting the patients body. To increase the stability and efficiency in force control, an Adaption Module could be used to adjust the parameters for different contact situations. We pr
