BRIDE - A toolchain for framework-independent development of industrial service robot applications

Software integration is still a challenging and time consuming task and therefore a major part of the development of industrial and domestic service robot applications. The presented toolchain BRIDE is able to streamline this process by the separation of user roles and the separation of developer concerns of software components to ensure a frame-work independent implementation. The impact of the BRIDE toolchain in the development process is demonstrated in a case study on the SyncMM mobile manipulation control framework.
