Abstract

The paper describes the integration of different open-source technologies into an embedded control system for low-cost robotics and automation applications. Particular care is given to networking aspects and scalability of technical solutions with respect to computational requirements, complexity of robotics/automation tasks and geographic distribution. The objective of the contribution is to analyse benefits and drawbacks of such technologies and provide guidelines for practitioners of embedded systems design and control engineers.
