Motion planning algorithms attempt to find a good compromise between planning time and quality of solution. Due to their heuristic nature, they are typically configured with several parameters. In this paper we demonstrate that, in many scenarios, the widely used default parameter values are not ide…
The performance of a ROS application is a function of the individual performance of its constituent nodes. Since ROS nodes are typically configurable (parameterised), the specific parameter values adopted will determine the level of performance generated. In addition, ROS applications may be distrib…
We consider the problem of assigning software pro- cesses (or tasks) to hardware processors in distributed robotics environments. We introduce the notion of a task variant, which supports the adaptation of software to specific hardware con- figurations. Task variants facilitate the trade-off of func…
