Modern robotic systems are becoming more and more complex either in mechanical, electronical or software domain. The electronical and software complexity hereby comes from the shift away from a centralized control system to multiple, distributed and heterogeneous processing units and their interconnection. How this heterogeneity of hardware – including reconfigurable hardware – can be transformed to homogeneity in programmability is one of the central questions in this project.
