Mobile robotics is a widespread field of research, whose differentiation from general robotics is often based only on the ability to move. However, mobile robots need unique capabilities, such as the function of navigation. Also, there are limiting factors, such as the typically limited energy, which must be considered when developing a mobile robot. This article deals with the definition of an archetypal robot, which is represented in the form of a taxonomy. Types and fields of application are defined. A systematic literature review is carried out for the definition of typical capabilities and implementations, where reference systems, textbooks, and literature references are considered.

“…The monolithic software design did not resemble the modular hardware, nor could it satisfy fundamental use cases for the robot. AMiRo features multiple microcontrollers (MCUs), which form a loosely coupled real-time system, but each of which is responsible for multiple tasks, such as power management, motor control, sensor fusion, wireless communication, and behavioral applications ( Schöpping et al., 2015 ; Schöpping et al., 2018 ; Korthals et al., 2019 ; Schöpping and Kenneweg, 2022a ; cf.

µRT: A lightweight real-time middleware with integrated validation of timing constraints

et al. 2023

Middlewares are standard tools for modern software development in many areas, especially in robotics. Although such have become common for high-level applications, there is little support for real-time systems and low-level control. Therefore, µRT provides a lightweight solution for resource-constrained embedded systems, such as microcontrollers. It features publish–subscribe communication and remote procedure calls (RPCs) and can validate timing constraints at runtime. In contrast to other middlewares, µRT does not rely on specific transports for communication but can be used with any technology. Empirical results prove the small memory footprint, consistent temporal behavior, and predominantly linear scaling. The usability of µRT was found to be competitive with state-of-the-art solutions by means of a study.
