A framework for component - based reuse for autonomous mobile robot software

Applying software reuse to Embedded Real-Time (ERT) systems poses significant challenges to industrial software processes due to the resourceconstrained and real-time requirements of the systems. Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) system is a class of ERT systems, hence, inherits the challenge of applyin...
