Why robotic middleware?

• Build a framework that allows for multi-robot cooperation and decision making, with supervisory control in distributed environments (NCW)

• Overcome interoperability issues between different vendor specific hardware and software platforms

• Software development and maintenance cost reduction measure

• Allow for portability of software between different vendor platforms

A Simulation Framework

• testing robotic middleware is a time consuming and tedious process

• in order to speed up the development process it was necessary to do preliminary testing outside robotic platforms

• need for high performance ad- hoc simulation and experimentation environment
