RT-middleware enables an interface between RT components by means of interface description language IDL, but it does not prescribe any specific format. If a unique representation format is used, it leads to a reduction in the reusability of a Robotic Technology Component (RTC). A working group of three research bodies engaged in the research and development of mobile robots was organized in the NEDO Intelligent RT Software Project, and this working group is involved in activities aimed at the jointing of RTCs for mobile robots. This paper describes specific this working group’s attempts enhance the sustainability and reusability of common RT components for mobile robots by achieving the jointing of RTCs for mobile robots.
