Containerization promises to strengthen platform-independent development, better resource utilization, and secure deployment of software. As these benefits come with negligible overhead in CPU and memory utilization, containerization is increasingly being adopted in mobile robotic applications. An open challenge is supporting software tasks that have mixed-criticality requirements. Even more chall...
