Robotic Systems Development Method Based on EARL and MeROS Metamodels

Abstract

Systems engineering is currently playing a key role in the manufacture, implementation and maintenance of cyber-physical systems. Increasingly, it is becoming an integral tool when designing, for example, robotic systems. This paper proposes a methodology for the design of robotic systems based on two metamodels: EARL at the implementation platform-independent level and MeROS dedicated to ROS/ROS 2. The procedure is demonstrated by analysing a representative application: a heteregonous multi-robot system with a central coordinator.
