Deploying a complex robot software architecture on real robot systems and getting it to run reliably is a challenging task. We argue that software deployment decisions should be separated as much as possible from the core development of software functionalities. This will make the developed software more independent of a particular hardware architecture (and thus more reusable) and allow it to be deployed more flexibly on a wider variety of robot platforms. This paper presents a domain-specific
