Bridge for exchange of data/service between robot software platforms - OPRoS and ROS

Those robot software platforms built on component-based software engineering have the dependency problem that they are operated only on certain platform components. Such problem causes unproductive situation due to duplicate production of robot software platform resulting from dependency. On that account, the proposed bridge aims to address unproductive situation caused by duplicate production by solving component dependency problem between robot software platforms. Moreover, it has some additional benefits. First, an operating robot maintains realtime system. Second, it can leverage the features of other platform components. Third, it does not modify or reproduce robot software platforms. This thesis aims to realize the proposed bridge and demonstrate the interoperation as to the exchange of data and service between the following heterogeneous robot software platforms: OPRoS and ROS.
