MORSE 2020 - 7th International Workshop on Model-Driven Robot Software Engineering

With the advent of standard hardware/software platforms for robots and the dynamics with which software ecosystems and App Stores develop in application markets, the following research topics arise in the overlap of Software Engineering and Robotics:
Model-Driven Software Development for robotic systems
Software and app reuse for robotics
End-user app development
The compliance to legal and safety constraints
Total cost of ownership
Model-based engineering helps to design and develop complex systems by automating the development process concentrating on different levels of abstraction. With the advances in the robotic research communities and the increasing complexity of application scenarios for future robotic systems, model-driven techniques must be established to improve the quality (e.g., re-usability, reliability, maintainability) of the developed systems. Therefore, there is a need for a new paradigm of software and system development for robots. This suggests establishing a new joint community of researchers from robotics and software engineering.
