Robotic systems are more connected, networked, and distributed than ever. New
architectures that comply with the de facto robotics middleware standard, ROS 2, have …

Featured Application This work aims to review the use of ROS2 as middleware to integrate
heterogeneous hardware and software components in order to enable fixed-base robots to …

The Robot Operating System (ROS2) is the most widely used software platform for building
robotics applications. FogROS2 extends ROS2 to allow robots to access cloud computing on …

Abstract Purpose of Review: Distributed ledger technologies (DLTs), particularly blockchain,
are paving the way to securing and managing distributed and large-scale systems of …

Fog Robotics renders networked robots with greater mobility, on-demand compute
capabilities and better energy efficiency by offloading heavy robotics workloads to nearby …

Cybersecurity in mission-critical robotic applications is a necessity to scale deployments
securely. ROS2 builds upon DDS-Security specs in ROS Client Library (RCL) to implement …

Robotic systems are becoming pervasive and adopted in increasingly many domains, such
as manufacturing, healthcare, and space exploration. To this end, engineering software has …

Safety is paramount for robots used in environments they share with humans. In such
scenarios, security is also growing in importance. However, conventional approaches to …

With the development of IoT and edge computing, there is a need for efficient and reliable
middleware to handle the communication among Edge devices or between Edge and …

By moving data and computation away from the end user to more powerful servers in the
cloud or to cloudlets at the edge, end user devices only need to compute locally for small …
