• OROCOS is an open source set of libraries for advanced motion and robot control.
• OROCOS comes with its own runtime environment optimized for real-time applications. The environment makes use of lock-free buffers, making it suitable for deterministic real-time applications.

MobileRobots produces autonomous robots that are the de-facto standard robotic platforms for researchers. The company also diversified into service robotics by introducing delivery robots, security patrol robots, and tele-presence robots.

 

 

Skilligent is a leader in commercial robot learning and social interaction technology. Their product called Robot Learning and Behavior Control System is a complete robotic intelligence system for learning multi-task service robots with the capability of utilizing robotic arm manipulators.

 

The philosophy of the product is to eliminate programming by introducing a fully trainable control system. After integrating the software into a robot (this still might require programming), a user starts communicating to the robot via gestures, attracting its attention to objects or places, and invoking "reflexive behaviors" through known stimuli. 

 

 

Microsoft launched its own robotic software platform called Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio (MSRS).

Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio is an example of the "purists" approach. It provides a runtime environment, a graphical drag-n-drop service creation environment and a simulation environment, but does not have its own built-in "artificial intelligence" components, such as a computer vision system, a navigation system, or a robot learning system. Instead, it relies on a growing number of partners that supply the "intelligence content" for the framework.

iRobot's AWARE 2.0 is a software robotic platform developed by iRobot for a range of military robots produced by the company.

iRobot has a large base of robots already deployed with the US Army, law enforcement agencies and foreign militaries. iRobot encourages third party developers to build add-ons to the robots. If you want to sell your payloads or technology through iRobot to their customers, you have to integrate your product with AWARE -- and pay the related license fees.

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.

 

 

Avec une interface graphique intuitive, le logiciel RTMaps est un outil de productivité par excellence des départements de R&D et des laboratoires qui s’intéressent aux applications capteurs avancées et à la fusion de données.

Les domaines susceptibles de s'intéresser à cette technologie vont de l'automobile à la robotique, en permettant de prototyper n'importe quels algorithmes utilisant des données "capteurs" précisément datées et synchronisées.
