The picture above shows the main software packages available for Robotino.

Cfcard 32.png 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 The kernel had been replaced by a custom made kernel with RTAI patches.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 icon 32.png 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.
