COMPONENT COMPOSING APPARATUS AND METHOD USING VIRTUAL COMPONENTS IN COMPONENT-BASED ROBOT SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for combining components in component-based robot application software development by using virtual components, a method thereof, and a recording medium thereof are provided to reduce the complexity of robot application software and simplify a connection relation between the components by using the virtual components when the components are combined for composing the robot application software. CONSTITUTION: A component storage(100) stores components including a port. An application diagram generating unit(200) generates an application diagram through the selection of the components stored in the storage. An information storage(300) stores information about the components in the application diagram and the port of the components and information about port connection between the components in the application diagram. A virtual component processing unit(400) generates a virtual component for a component selected from the components in the application diagram by a user. The virtual component processing unit provides an interface for designating a location of the virtual component and generates the virtual component on the location.
