Roblet®-Technology
The institute TAMS developed several modules for Roblet®-servers as well as client applications which use these modules. To find out more about Roblet®-technology visit Roblet®.org and genRob®.com. The following image presents how the Roblet®-technology is apllied to the service robot TASER. Each green oval represents one Roblet®-server. In practice, fewer servers are used which load more than one module.

Literature
The following list includes papers were the principals of the Roblet®-technology are explained. Merits and demerits are discussed and applications are presented. The papers give a good introduction on how the use of Roblets® can ease the development of distributed applications.- D. Westhoff, T. Baier, M. Hüser, J.
