Kyoto, Japan (September 19, 2020) — Coarobo GK was highlighted in an invited lecture at the 10th Symposium of the Intelligent Home Robotics Research Committee (iHR10) . The lecture, titled "Introduction to Efficient Source Code Management for Team Collaboration on Robotics Projects," was delivered by Lotfi El Hafi, President & Founder of Coarobo GK. The presentation showcased proven strategies for managing large-scale robotics projects, drawing from the extensive experience of Coarobo GK's founders in academia and international robotics competitions.
The lecture emphasized the importance of introducing multiple layers of abstraction between components and processes to streamline collaboration. By leveraging automated testing and simulations, teams can focus on their areas of expertise while ensuring system-wide integration. "Our goal is to empower interdisciplinary teams to work more effectively on complex robotics projects by sharing the tools and methodologies that have driven our success," said Lotfi El Hafi.
A recording of the lecture, conducted in Japanese, is available on the official YouTube channel of iHR . The event underscored Coarobo GK's commitment to advancing robotics research and fostering collaboration within the global robotics community.
Abstract
"The presentation describes the strategies and tools successfully deployed by the members of the HSR Software Development Environment Working Group (Toyota HSR Community) and Team NAIST-RITS-Panasonic (Nara Institute of Science and Technology, Ritsumeikan University, Panasonic Corporation) to 1) collaborate on large robotics projects in academia, and 2) participate in international robotics competitions. In particular, the presentation describes how to introduce multiple layers of abstraction between the different components and processes to enable the collaborators to focus on their individual expertise and rely on automated tests and simulations from the system. The ultimate goal is to share our proven experience in international competitions with other interdisciplinary teams to help them efficiently work together on large robotics projects."
