- design, develop soft- and firm/hard-real time programs using modern libraries
- appraise proper use of software architectures, for developing efficient modular software in a robust way
- evaluate real-time performance of the produced robot / embedded software, to optimise for use in the robot application at hand

This course dives deeper into developing control software for robots. The topics are:
- Real-time programming, Real-time operating systems (threads, timing, real-time communication, kernels, communication between real-time and non-real-time parts).
- Robot software architecture suitable for soft- and hard/firm-real time control parts, e.g. on modularity, scalability, effective use w.r.t. timing performance, etc.
- Component-based software development using existing software frameworks (currently ROS2) and model-driven code generation methods and tools (currently using the tool 20-sim).
The practical assignments focus on gaining experience in writing software, (performance) testing it, and working towards controlling an actual robot (a pan-tilt camera unit) using a mainstream embedded control computing platform, currently a Raspberry Pi.
