Taylor %J International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems %D 2008 %I InTech %X With the increasing use of general robotic platforms in different application scenarios, modularity and reusability have become key issues in effective robotics programming. In this paper, we present a minimalist approach for designing robot software, in which very simple modules, with well designed interfaces and very little redundancy can be connected through a strongly typed framework to specify and execute different robotics tasks. %K robotics programming %K modularity %K reusability %U http://www.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/design_minimalism_in_robotics_programming
