A domain specific architecture description language for Autonomous Mobile Robots

As mobile robots have been more and more widely applied, their tasks become more and more complicated. Architectures of robots encapsulate and model the algorithms and hardware into components. How to organize and configure these components to make them work together appropriately becomes one of the most important research subjects. Domain specific model driven architecture is a development approach by modeling systems into architecture models, and then generating the source codes from these architecture models. In this paper, we propose a domain specific model driven architecture framework for Autonomous Mobile Robots(AMR). Our proposed framework can improve the reusability of architectures and reduce the time and cost of system development.
