Real-Time Systems

A practical system for streaming, processing, and visualizing human pose data using deep learning, quaternion processing, and a web-based 3D skeleton viewer.

This article examines the importance of deterministic execution in robotics frameworks, where predictable timing and behavior are essential for safety, reliability, and performance. It discusses scheduling models, hard and soft real-time constraints, and the role of real-time operating systems in ensuring consistent control loop execution. Practical design strategies and trade-offs are explored to help engineers build robust, time-predictable robotic systems.
