-Heterogeneous components have different component models, which prevents such components from sharing the functionalities of other components based on the different models. As one of methods for linking heterogeneous components, this paper suggests a proxy component to construct a bridge between heterogeneous components of OPRoS (Open Platform for Robotic Service) and RTM (Robot Technology Middleware). The proxy component consists of two types of components called Adaptor and Interceptor, via which the heterogeneous components can exchange data and services easily. The proposed method enables adaptor and interceptor components to directly invoke the services of the latter and the former, respectively, in order to exchange data and services on a real-time basis. The proxy component can be implemented for OPRoS and RT (Robot Technology) component models to connect with RT and OPRoS ones, respectively. It is shown through a simple experiment that the proposed method works well for real-time control.
