A YARP-based Architectural Framework for Robotic Vision Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The complexity of advanced robot vision systems calls for an architectural framework with great flexibility with regards to sensory, hardware, processing, and communications requirements. We are currently developing a system that uses time-of-flight and a regular video stream for mobile robot vision applications. We present an architectural framework based on YARP, and evaluate its efficiency. Overall, we have found YARP to be easy to use, and our experiments show that the overhead is a reasonable tradeoff for the convenience.

Middleware Interoperability for Robotics: A ROS–YARP Framework
Middlewares are fundamental tools for progress in research and applications in robotics. They enable the integration of multiple heterogeneous sensing and actuation devices, as well as providing general purpose modules for key robotics functions (kinematics, navigation, and planning). However, no existing middleware yet provides a complete set of functionalities for all robotics applications, a...

The emerging availability of high-quality software repositories for robotics promises to speed up the construction process of robotic systems through systematic reuse of software components. However, to reuse components without modification, compatibility at the interface level needs to be created, which is particularly hard if components were implemented in different robotic frameworks. In thi...

Some middlewares for robotics are starting to be recognized as the best ones around but there is still not one that provides the complete set of services needed by the many different robotic systems. Interoperability is a possible solution for this problem since it is the capability of several entities, in this case middlewares, to cooperate by providing services and tools to each other, allowi...
متن کاملThe Event-Driven Software Library for YARP—With Algorithms and iCub Applications
Event-driven (ED) cameras are an emerging technology that sample the visual signal based on changes in the signal magnitude, rather than at a fixed-rate over time. The change in paradigm results in a camera with a lower latency, that uses less power, has reduced bandwidth, and higher dynamic range. Such cameras offer many potential advantages for on-line, autonomous, robots; however, the sensor...
