<p>What do Mars exploration and Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery (MIRS) have in common? In some ways, the technology and communication requirements couldn't be more different.</p>
<p>This provocative talk will examine a wide range of challenges for designing modern robotic systems, based on real-life lessons learned from NASA's Human Robotic Systems project and MIRO Lab, an advanced robotic assistance research laboratory.</p>
<p>Learn why Robot Operating System (ROS) 2.0 and robotic systems like NASA's and MIRO Lab's chose to implement a data-centric architecture using Data Distribution Service (DDS), a communication protocol standard for real-time and embedded systems.</p>

<p>John Breitenbach currently works as a Field Applications Engineering Manager in Real-Time Innovations, Inc.</p>
<p>John spent 25 years designing communications software for real-time embedded systems before joining RTI as an applications engineer. He's worked on industrial, medical, consumer, and military products - everything from artificial hearts to microgrids. As a protocol geek his focus is on helping RTI's customers get their systems talking to each other and working as one.</p>
<p>IEEE RA24 appreciates John Breitenbach and Real-Time Innovations, Inc., for their technical contributions to the community.</p>
