In the field of Robotics, adoption of Robot Operating System (ROS) has become widely prominent. ROS is a meta-operating system framework that facilitates robotic system development. ROS is widely used in various fields of robotics including industrial robotics, UAV swarms and low-power image processing devices. The open source multi-platform support of ROS has made it a requirement in several DARPA robotics projects including the DARPA Robotics Challenge.

ROSMOD is an open source development tool suite and run-time software platform for rapid prototyping of component-based software applications using ROS. Using ROSMOD, an application developer can create, deploy and manage ROS applications for distributed real-time embedded systems. We define a strict component model, and present a model-driven development workflow with run-time management tools to build and deploy component-based software with ROS.
