A compositional sheaf-theoretic framework for the modeling of complex event-based systems is presented. We show that event-based systems are machines, with inputs and outputs, and that they can be composed with machines of different types, all within a unified, sheaf-theoretic formalism. We take robotic systems as an exemplar of complex systems and rigorously describe actuators, sensors, and algorithms using this framework.
