Abstract

The growing demand for flexible and accessible robotic solutions underscores the need for streamlined development processes, particularly for non-expert users. This work introduces a novel development framework for modular wheeled mobile robots, designed to simplify the integration of plug-and-play hardware and software modules. By automating software generation and incorporating a kinematics classification method for controller selection, the framework reduces development complexity while accommodating diverse robot configurations. Validation through various robot designs and scenarios substantiates the framework's adaptability, demonstrating its efficacy and practicability in supporting the development of robotic systems across a wide range of applications.
