A work-in-progress survival analysis of 810 ROS2 package repositories hosted on GitHub, examining survival rates over time and repository characteristics associated with inactivity finds that fork activity, newcomer influx, and organizational backing are the strongest protective factors against inactivity.
The Robot Operating System (ROS) relies on a centralized dependency index, the rosdistro central index, to manage packages across its heterogeneous software ecosystem, which integrates independently evolving Operating System (OS) repositories for system libraries, ROS repositories for domain-specific support, and Progr...

Robots are increasingly used in diverse application areas, where autonomous navigation plays a central role. As these systems become more widespread, improving their energy efficiency is critical to extending operational time and reducing environmental impact. The Robot Operating System (ROS) is a widely adopted middle...

Context. Robotic systems are used more widely in homes and industry, but their often ad hoc development methods reduce the reliability needed for ongoing growth. Recently, more robotics experts have adopted software engineering best practices to improve system reliability. Building on previous work, we aim to further s...
This analysis shows that the modularity, flexibility, and reactivity of classical BTs are insufficient for adaptation needs involving runtime restructuring, reasoning under uncertainty, mission reinterpretation, learning, or integration with external knowledge and planning mechanisms.
Over the last decade, behavior trees (BT) have become one of the dominant behavior models for coordinating missions of robotic systems. Yet empirical evidence on BT adoption in real-world contexts remains limited, especially regarding practitioners experiences and practices. Without practitioner-grounded evidence from...

Soft robotic systems have long been theorized as ideal candidates for use in search and rescue operations; however, there have been significant barriers to entry in graduating soft robotic systems from the laboratory to the field. To address this gap in replicable, reliable soft robot systems, we present the designs fo...
