Talk 3: GrapOS in the wild: A safety-critical RTOS finding its place in robotics and beyond, Sandro Margeta, Končar Electrical Engineering Institute
KONČAR - Electrical Engineering Institute is primarily known for safety-critical systems in railway and power electronics, certified up to SIL 4. At the heart of those systems is GrapOS, our in-house real-time operating system designed from the ground up for functional safety applications. This talk explores how GrapOS has been stepping into the robotics and mechatronic space through three projects: a functional-safety-certified proximity protection system for human-robot coexistence in automated warehouses, embedded electronics and firmware for remotely operated vehicles requiring precise real-time control and our latest research effort bridging GrapOS with ROS 2. Along the way, we share what functional safety experience brings to robotic systems development, and what it doesn't.
