In the Platform Building phase, the robot hardware is determined. This includes the selection and potential configuration of robot's sensors and actuators meeting the requirements defined in the functional design phase.
Kinematics refers to the motion of bodies in robotic mechanisms without taking the forces/torques causing the motion into account. Hence, it includes general representations of the position and orientation of a body, the relation among the joints as well as conventions for representing the geometry of rigid bodies connected by joints. This subdomain corresponds to Part A, Chapter 1 in the Handbook of Robotics.

Dynamics covers the relationships between actuation and contact forces that act on robot mechanisms. Such a mechanism in this sense is described by rigid bodies connected by joints. Furthermore, it pertains to the acceleration and motion trajectories resulting from these relationships. This subdomain corresponds to Part A, Chapter 2 in the Handbook of Robotics.

Mechanisms and Actuation focuses on the mechanical structure of a robot that creates its movable skeleton. All elements that cause a robotic mechanism to move – so called actuators – are addressed along with the mathematical model that is used to characterize the robot's performance. This subdomain corresponds to Part A, Chapter 3 in the Handbook of Robotics.

Architectures and Programming refers to the way a robotic system is designed on the software-level. It can be divided into architectural structure and architectural style.
The structure is represented by how the system is split up into subsystems and how they interact with each other.
The style however addresses the underlying computational concepts.
This subdomain corresponds to Part A, Chapter 8 in the Handbook of Robotics.
Due to its large number of entries, the Architectures and Programming subdomain is further subdivided into its disciplines, see Architectures and Programming Disciplines.
