Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for a real-time robotics control framework that implements a real-time clock with transferable ownership. One of the systems being configured to operate a real-time control loop for a robot in multiple modes include a base mode and an augmented mode, wherein when operating the robot in the base mode, the system is configured to operate a base real-time control loop in which a start of each tick of the base real-time control loop is initiated by a real-time software control module, and wherein when operating the robot in the augmented mode, the system is configured to operate multiple real-time control loops comprising the base real-time control loop and a robot real-time control loop in which a start of each tick of the real-time control loop is initiated by the real-time software drive module.
