RT Middleware - Robot Technology for the Made-to-Order Business Model


As a potential application of RT middleware technology, we developed a robot system for supporting daily life activities (RT space) and demonstrated various made-to-order robot services.

In the project, we have carried out research and development regarding the software, which helps the efficient development of robot systems. We studied the standard specifications of the robot middleware, which promotes modularization. We also developed a prototype middleware. Finally, we proved the effectiveness of middleware technology on typical robot system construction examples.

We would like to disseminate the use of this open robot system architecture and make a contribution to industrial technology and the economy.
