Cooperative Scheduling

Cooperative Scheduling is a task scheduling method where each component, such as a sensor loop or controller, voluntarily yields control back to the scheduler. It allows multiple tasks to run in a single thread efficiently, coordinating timing without preemptive interruptions. This approach reduces CPU overhead and energy consumption, making it suitable for robotics and embedded systems. By relying on voluntary yielding, cooperative scheduling avoids context-switching overhead, simplifies debugging, and ensures predictable timing for critical sensor readings.
