Abstract
A software framework for implementation in the performance of automated robotic workflows imparts a hierarchical communications command structure, utilizing an actor-based model to run driver software isolated from scheduling software, by instantiating a message-based abstraction layer that acts as an intermediary between the scheduling software and the third-party driver software. The actor-based model is used within the message-based abstraction layer to isolate the third-party software controlling third party instruments from scheduling software, where such scheduling software and third-party instruments are operating on a common computing platform. This framework prevents scheduling applications from entering an error state, or crashing, where the third-party software component also crashes, and allows the scheduling software to restart the third-party software to continue with the processes controlled by the scheduling software, without interruption to the automated workflow environment.
