Introduction
Robotino is an open source robot, i.e. all the software on Robotino and all APIs are open source. This gives developers the maximum flexibility in creating software for Robotino and the certainty that this software is not affected by any open source unfriendly license.
The software available is
- microcontroller code for Robotinos IO board
- the code of the daemons running on Robotino interfacing the hardware
- the main C++ API for communication with Robotino
- APIs build on top of the C++ API
Packages
The picture above shows the main software packages available for Robotino.
Robotino OS
The operating system for Robotino is based on Ubuntu Jaunty. The kernel had been replaced by a custom made kernel with RTAI patches. Disk images with the Robotino OS can be download from the download section.
- Version 2.x cards run the rec::robotino::com interface
- Version 3.x cards run the rec::robotino::api2 interface. The api1d provides a API1 compatibility interface. You are able to connect with all 2.x software to 3.x CF cards.
Robotino Sim
The Robotino simulator lets you simulate Robotino in a physical 3D simulation environment.
- Version 2.x of the simulator can be accessed by the rec::robotino::com C++ library and all versions of Robotino View.
Robotino View
Robotino View is the graphical programming environment for Robotino.
- Version 2.x of Robotino View can connect to Robotino OS 2.x and Robotino Sim 2.x
- uses rec::robotino::com to setup a connection to the hardware/simulator.
- Version 3.x (including the current beta version 2.9.x) can connect to all Robotino OS and Robotino Sim versions.
- uses both rec::robotino::com and rec::robotino::api2 to setup a connection to the hardware/simulator. It automatically detects which software is running.
C++ API
This is a C++ library providing the main interface for controlling Robotino. See C++ programming for examples how to use this library. The library documentation can be found here.
- The current official library is the rec::robotino::api2 library
C Library
A C wrapper library around rec_robotino_com. The library documentation can be found here.
- The rec::robotino::api2 library contains the C library
Java Library
A Java wrapper library around rec_robotino_com.
.Net Library
A .Net wrapper library around rec_robotino_com.
ROS
ROS drivers for Robotino using the rec_robotino_com library.
Matlab
Robotino Matlab drivers using the C wrapper library to communicate with Robotino.
LabView
Robotino LabView drivers using the C wrapper library to communicate with Robotino.
Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio
Robotino driver for MRDS4 build upon the .Net wrapper for API2.
