:"''...robotic middleware is designed to manage the complexity and heterogeneity of the hardware and applications, promote the integration of new technologies, simplify software design, hide the complexity of low-level communication and the sensor heterogeneity of the sensors, improve software quality, reuse robotic software infrastructure across multiple research efforts, and to reduce production costs.''"<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Elkady|first1=Ayssam|title=Robotics Middleware: A Comprehensive Literature Survey and Attribute-Based Bibliography|journal=Journal of Robotics|date=29 January 2012|volume=2012|pages=1–15|doi=10.1155/2012/959013|ref=959013}}</ref>

It can be described as "software glue" to make it easier for robot builders focus on their specific problem area.<ref name="MW-00">{{Cite web|title=What is Middleware? |url=http://www.middleware.org/whatis.html |publisher=Defining Technology |work=Middleware.org |year=2008 |accessdate=2013-08-11 |deadurlurl-status=unfit |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120629211518/http://www.middleware.org/whatis.html |archivedate=June 29, 2012 }}</ref>
