Cyber Physical Systems Oriented Robot Development Platform

AbstractThe development of systems, of various levels of complexity that can integrate physical with virtual components has become a priority for research in the context of emerging paradigms such as Cyber-Physical Systems or Internet for the Future. The authors propose a Robotic Development Platform architecture that integrates principles of Cyber-Physical Systems. The proposed architecture, is scalable, by facilitating the integration of different existing development and simulation tools and will allow robot systems to be tested in different environments, with different characteristics, and facilitate the integration of real world simulation with virtual environment simulation
