Abstract

In this article is introduced a framework for the development of reusable software components for Human Robot Interaction (HRI): the Experimental Robotics Framework. Normally human-robot interfaces are discarded as they stop being useful and because of that lots of work put into those architectures is lost. Our software plans to change that, and provide a platform that will enable interfaces to be reused. We explain the architecture and design rationale of the framework, and demonstrate it with some use cases. The developed framework is available on-line with a LGPL license.
