Development phase

Capability Building

In the Capability Building phase, basic and composite components are constructed up to the application-level and constraints for their deployment are specified. This also includes the specification and eventually generation of additional knowledge required for component execution such as knowledge bases and training data.

Kinematics

Kinematics refers to the motion of bodies in robotic mechanisms without taking the forces/torques causing the motion into account. Hence, it includes general representations of the position and orientation of a body, the relation among the joints as well as conventions for representing the geometry of rigid bodies connected by joints. This subdomain corresponds to Part A, Chapter 1 in the Handbook of Robotics.

Dynamics

Dynamics covers the relationships between actuation and contact forces that act on robot mechanisms. Such a mechanism in this sense is described by rigid bodies connected by joints. Furthermore, it pertains to the acceleration and motion trajectories resulting from these relationships. This subdomain corresponds to Part A, Chapter 2 in the Handbook of Robotics.

Architectures and Programming

Architectures and Programming refers to the way a robotic system is designed on the software-level. It can be divided into architectural structure and architectural style. The structure is represented by how the system is split up into subsystems and how they interact with each other. The style however addresses the underlying computational concepts. This subdomain corresponds to Part A, Chapter 8 in the Handbook of Robotics.

Reasoning Methods

Reasoning Methods focuse on symbol-based reasoning and knowledge representation. It covers logic- as well as probability-based approaches. Furthermore, this category also addresses learning, such as inductive logic learning, neuronal networks and reinforcement learning. This subdomain corresponds to Part A, Chapter 9 in the Handbook of Robotics.
