Alignment Sets for Sensor Fusion Against Temporal Misalignment

Authors: Daniel Kuhse, Mario Günzel, Harun Teper, Lars Willemsen, Georg von der Brüggen, and Jian-Jia Chen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 375, 38th European Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2026)

Abstract
Sensor fusion algorithms combine data from multiple sensors to produce more accurate and reliable results. However, temporal misalignment between sensors, caused by factors such as clock drift, jitter or networking delays, can significantly degrade fusion quality. Prior work on modeling temporal misalignment in sensor fusion algorithms assumes that in the ideal case all samples should be aligned with the same reference time point. We show that this assumption limits its applicability when samples are intentionally taken at different time points, e.g., when a single sensor is sampled multiple times or when sensors operate at different frequencies. In this paper, we introduce alignment sets, which allow system designers to explicitly specify the intended alignment between samples. This flexibility enables more precise temporal misalignment measures that better reflect the actual requirements of sensor fusion scenarios. We prove that alignment sets generalize the prior definitions of temporal misalignment of sensor fusion algorithms. We also provide an evaluation on a camera-LiDAR fusion pipeline for 3D object detection, showing that alignment sets provide more accurate misalignment measures and robustness estimates.

A Survey of Real-Time Support, Analysis, and Advancements in ROS 2

Authors: Daniel Casini, Jian-Jia Chen, Jing Li, Federico Reghenzani, and Harun Teper

Published in: LITES, Volume 11, Issue 1 (2026). Leibniz Transactions on Embedded Systems, Volume 11, Issue 1

Abstract
The Robot Operating System 2 (ROS 2) has emerged as a relevant middleware framework for robotic applications, offering modularity, distributed execution, and communication. In the last six years, ROS 2 has drawn increasing attention from the real-time systems community and industry. This survey presents a comprehensive overview of research efforts that analyze, enhance, and extend ROS 2 to support real-time execution. We first provide a detailed description of the internal scheduling mechanisms of ROS 2 and its layered architecture, including the interaction with DDS-based communication and other communication middleware. We then review key contributions from the literature, covering timing analysis for both single- and multi-threaded executors, metrics such as response time, reaction time, and data age, and different communication modes. The survey also discusses community-driven enhancements to the ROS 2 runtime, including new executor algorithm designs, real-time GPU management, and microcontroller support via micro-ROS. Furthermore, we summarize techniques for bounding DDS communication delays, message filters, and profiling tools that have been developed to support analysis and experimentation. To help systematize this growing body of work, we introduce taxonomies that classify the surveyed contributions based on different criteria. This survey aims to guide both researchers and practitioners in understanding and improving the real-time capabilities of ROS 2.

A First Look at ROS 2 Applications Written in Asynchronous Rust

Authors: Martin Škoudlil, Michal Sojka, and Zdeněk Hanzálek

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 335, 37th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2025)

Abstract
The increasing popularity of the Rust programming language in building robotic applications using the Robot Operating System (ROS 2) raises questions about its real-time execution capabilities, particularly when employing asynchronous programming. Existing real-time scheduling and response-time analysis techniques for ROS 2 focus on applications written in C++ and do not address the unique execution models and challenges presented by Rust’s asynchronous programming paradigm. In this paper, we analyze the execution model of R2R - an asynchronous Rust ROS 2 bindings and various asynchronous Rust runtimes, comparing them with the execution model of C++ ROS 2 applications. We propose a structured approach for R2R applications aimed at deterministic real-time operation involving thread prioritization and callback-to-thread mapping schemes. Our experimental evaluation based on measuring end-to-end latencies of a synthetic application shows that the proposed approach is effective and outperforms other evaluated configurations. A more complex autonomous driving case study demonstrates its practical applicability. Overall, the experimental results indicate that our proposed structure achieves bounded response times for time-critical tasks. This paves the way for future work to adapt existing or develop new response-time analysis techniques for R2R applications using our structure.

On the Equivalence of Maximum Reaction Time and Maximum Data Age for Cause-Effect Chains

Authors: Mario Günzel, Harun Teper, Kuan-Hsun Chen, Georg von der Brüggen, and Jian-Jia Chen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 262, 35th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2023)

Abstract
Real-time systems require a formal guarantee of timing-constraints, not only for individual tasks but also for data-propagation. The timing behavior of data-propagation paths in a given system is typically described by its maximum reaction time and its maximum data age. This paper shows that they are equivalent. To reach this conclusion, partitioned job chains are introduced, which consist of one immediate forward and one immediate backward job chain. Such partitioned job chains are proven to describe maximum reaction time and maximum data age in a universal manner. This universal description does not only show the equivalence of maximum reaction time and maximum data age, but can also be exploited to speed up the computation of such significantly. In particular, the speed-up for synthesized task sets based on automotive benchmarks can be up to 1600. Since only very few non-restrictive assumptions are made, the equivalence of maximum data age and maximum reaction time holds for almost any scheduling mechanism and even for tasks which do not adhere to the typical periodic or sporadic task model. This observation is supported by a simulation of a ROS2 navigation system.
