We propose ASEBA, a modular architecture for event-based control of complex robots.
ASEBA runs scripts inside virtual machines on self-contained sensor and actuator nodes …

Devadas has first proposed the notion of Silicon Physical Unclonable Function (sPUF),
which takes advantage of delay variations of wires and gates. A Ring-Oscillator-Based PUF …

Mobile robotics development provides an excellent opportunity to experiment with various
architectural solutions for distributed real-time systems. This is because of the increasing …

In this paper distributed architectures for autonomous vehicles are addressed, with a special
emphasis on its real-time control requirements. The interconnection of the distributed …

This paper analyzes the use of ultrasonic echo amplitudes to evaluate the characteristics of
the detected surfaces (such as distinguishing between walls and corners). The shape and …

This paper focuses on reducing the number of angular readings per scan, using a single
ultrasonic rotary device; together with the use of interpolation to achieve high angular …

This paper describes a communication system called SC (Sistema de Comunicaciones) that
is suitable for real-time systems with distributed sensory architecture. This system has been …

This paper describes the experience of customizing RT-Linux for its use in embedded real-
time control. It describes the system configuration and the issues involved in minimizing …

The present work tackles integration in mobile robotics. Integration is often considered to be
a mere technique, unworthy of scientific investigation. On the contrary, we show that …

The robotics research community has clearly acknowledged the need of open and standard
software stacks to promote reuse of code and developments. However, to date no particular …
