Development Phase „System Deployment“

In the System Deployment phase, top-level component(s) are packaged into a complete application system which defines a mapping of components and composites to computational units. Furthermore, features and procedures for system launch management are developed.

Motion Control

Motion Control addresses the dynamical model of robotic manipulators. This includes different controller approaches, such as independent-joint, PID as well as torque control. This subdomain corresponds to Part A, Chapter 6 in the Handbook of Robotics.

Architectures and Programming

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.

Reasoning Methods

Reasoning Methods focuse on symbol-based reasoning and knowledge representation. It covers logic- as well as probability-based approaches. Furthermore, this category also addresses learning, such as inductive logic learning, neuronal networks and reinforcement learning. This subdomain corresponds to Part A, Chapter 9 in the Handbook of Robotics.
