Gostai Urbi
| Logiciels |
Urbi is a robotic software platform built by Gostai. It includes a runtime environment, a nice set of development tools, an OCU program, and a hardware abstraction layer for several robots. One of the great features of the platform is its accompanying set of graphical development tools called Urbi Studio, a toolsuite aimed at simplifying the creation of robotics applications. The tools are called urbiLive, urbiMove, and urbiLab.
The centerpiece of Urbi Studio is urbiLive, a graphical drag-n-drop environment that helps design behaviors for robots. The tool converts graphical behavior diagrams into urbiScript, a scripting language interpreted by Urbi's runtime engine.

A program called urbiMove is used to graphically design animations, dances, and postures for various robots, or to record movements and replay them later.

urbiLab is a customizable graphical OCU (operator control unit) for robots compatible with Urbi.
Webots, a simulation environment (Cyberbotics)
Urbi does not have its own simulation environment. Instead, it relies on a popular commercial simulation environment called Webots sold by Cyberbotics.
Architecture of URBI software
Gostai's novel scripting language, urbiScript, features dedicated abstractions to handle parallelism and event-based programming from within C++, Java, or Matlab. A distributed component architecture called UObject allows creating robotic applications from high-level service building bocks potentially running on networked computers. The runtime engine orchestrates those loosely coupled services.
Urbi is a pure software platform that provides a clean programming framework for engineers and researchers. The "intelligence components" such as computer vision, robot learning, navigation, and object recognition are provided by Gostai's partners.
