Architecture patterns, design principles, and proven recipes for building robust robotics software. Use this skill when designing robot software architectures, choosing between behavioral frameworks, structuring perception-planning-control pipelines, implementing state machines, designing safety systems, or architecting multi-robot systems. Trigger whenever the user mentions behavior trees, finite state machines, subsumption architecture, sensor fusion, robot safety, watchdogs, heartbeats, graceful degradation, hardware abstraction layers, real-time constraints, or software architecture for robots. Also applies to sim-to-real transfer, digital twins, and robot fleet management.
