Abstract: ROS (Robot Operating System) is currently the most popular framework for robotic software development. In its 10-years history, ROS has been used by hundreds of thousands of developers to power a large number and different types of robotic systems. The philosophy behind ROS architecture is facilitating software modularity and composability, so non-expert developers can quickly build robotic software with sophisticated functionalities by reusing existing packages. Robotic software is typically subject to timing constraints, to match the inherent dynamics of physical objects and the environment. In this talk, I will identify some theoretical and practical challenges in building real-time software on ROS, and introduce some of our recent work on building the theoretical foundation and improving the real-time performance of ROS.
