US 12,552,025 B1 · Remote development of embedded systems

Abstract

A system for remote development of a robotic device is described. The robotic device comprising an embedded computing system and one or more subsystems, wherein the embedded computing system is programmable to control performance of respective operations of the one or more subsystems. The system includes a network tunneling system to receive, via an interface, one or more requests to specify an access configuration for the robotic device. The network tunneling system also receives a request to start a development session on the robotic device for a remote client. The network tunneling system evaluates the access configuration to determine that the request for the development session is permitted. The network tunneling system establishes a managed connection between the remote client and the embedded computing system of the robotic device to start the development session.

Dependent claims

A system, comprising:

a robotic device comprising an embedded computing system and one or more subsystems, wherein the embedded computing system is programmable to control performance of respective operations of the one or more subsystems;
and
a network tunneling system, comprising one or more computing devices, configured to:
receive, via an interface, one or more requests to specify an access configuration for the robotic device;
receive a request to start a development session on the robotic device for a remote client;
evaluate the access configuration to determine that the request for the development session is permitted;
and
establish a managed connection between the remote client and the embedded computing system of the robotic device to start the development session, wherein the managed connection prevents an elevated command that requires a password and is received via the managed connection from being sent to and performed at the embedded computing system.

5 more elements

One or more computer-readable storage media storing instructions that, when executed on or across one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

in response to a request to start a remote access session on an embedded computing system for a remote client via a managed tunneling system, determine that the request to start the remote access session is permitted according to an access configuration specified for the embedded computing system via an interface of the managed tunneling system, wherein the access configuration determines access controls for a plurality of different remote clients including the remote client;
and
establish a managed connection between the remote client and the embedded computing system according to the access controls to start the development session, wherein the managed connection prevents an elevated command that requires a password and is received via the managed connection from being sent to and performed at the embedded computing system.
