Robots are highly complex systems that embed numerous sensors and actuators, in the service of a variety of algorithms performing heterogeneous tasks. They often have to deal with severe requirements (timing constraints, limited energy, memory and processing resources, etc.) and must show a robust conception as uncertainty about their environment is high, and unexpected events can have critical consequences. This sets some constrains on the underlying software running on a robot. This section describes how this is dealt with by the robotic community and introduces the software systems used on the Two!Ears robots.
