Robotic systems react to different environmental stimuli, potentially resulting in the dynamic reconfiguration of the software controlling such systems. One effect of such dynamism is the reconfiguration of the software architecture reconfiguration of the system at runtime. Such reconfigurations might severely impact the runtime properties of robotic systems, e.g., in terms of performance and energy efficiency. The ROS \emph{rosbag} package enables developers to record and store timestamped data related to the execution of robotic missions, implicitly containing relevant information about the architecture of the monitored system during its execution. In this study, we discuss about our approach for statically extracting (time-windowed) architectural information from ROS bag files. The proposed approach can support the robotics community in better discussing and reasoning the software architecture (and its runtime reconfigurations) of ROS-based systems. We evaluate our approach against hundreds of ROS bag files systematically mined from 4,434 public GitHub repositories.
