Robots are complex interconnections of subsystems which use a varied mix of software. David will describe a typical robot's architecture and highlight the areas where Rust is making headway. He will present his team's experience with bringing Rust to the low-level sensors and actuators on a research robotics platform, showing how the use of bare-metal Rust improved the system's reliability and real-time performance. Finally, he will suggest how the Rust community can encourage further adoption of Rust in robotics and related applications.
