The basic ideas for Robot Framework were shaped in Pekka Klärck's masters thesis [3] in 2005. The first version was developed at Nokia Networks the same year. Version 2.0 was released as open source software June 24, 2008 and version 3.0.2 was released February 7, 2017.
Robot Operating System (ROS or ros) is an open-source robotics middleware suite. Although ROS is not an operating system (OS) but a set of software frameworks for robot software development , it provides services designed for a heterogeneous computer cluster such as hardware abstraction , low-level device control , implementation of commonly ...
Open Robotics is a nonprofit corporation headquartered in Mountain View, California.It is the primary maintainer of the Robot Operating System, and the Gazebo simulator. [1] [2] Its stated mission is to support "the development, distribution and adoption of open source software for use in robotics research, education, and product development".
Robotics middleware is middleware to be used in complex robot control software systems. "...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 ...
An open source iCub robot mounted on a supporting frame. The robot is 104 cm high and weighs around 22 kg. The robot is 104 cm high and weighs around 22 kg. Open-source robotics is a branch of robotics where robots are developed with open-source hardware and free and open-source software , publicly sharing blueprints , schematics , and source ...
URDF, Unified Robot Description Format is an XML format for representing a robot model. [1] URDF is commonly used in Robot Operating System (ROS) tools such as rviz (Ros Visualization tool) and Gazebo simulator. [2] The model consists of links and joints motion.
BrickOS is an open-source operating system created by Markus Noga as firmware to operate as an alternative software environment for the Lego Mindstorms Robotic Invention System. [1] BrickOS is the first open-source software made for Lego Mindstorms robots. It allows development using the C, C++, and Java programming languages.
RoboDK is an offline programming and simulation software for industrial robots. [1] The simulation software allows you to program robots outside the production environment, eliminating production downtime caused by shop floor programming.
