Robotic middleware is used for easy configuration of software modules via configuration file parameters.  Algorithms can be modified live at runtime to speed up the debugging and development using the middleware.  The middleware is generally implemented as a cross-platform, open-source software framework.   Base functionalities and numerous tools share aspects of development and testing platform functionality that can be accessed via distributed software modules. The robotic middleware has a focus on the easy creation of complex, dynamic applications.  Reuse of modules as plugins is supported.   The market research study provides insight into market driving forces, assessment of market opportunities, market share analysis, and market forecasts.
