Building a robot isn't easy. Robotics presents a challenging intersection of hardware and software. It reaches across disciplines including: Mechanical Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Electronics, and Computer Programming. Better hardware has made the job less difficult, but the software hasn't followed suit. There is a serious lack of reliable, ready-to-use software components for the robot developer.
The Rossum Project is an attempt to help.
Our goal is to collect, develop, and distribute software for for robotics applications. Over the last few years,open-source and free software initiatives have given computer users a remarkable collection of tools and capabilities. We hope to extend the same kind collaboration to the development of robotic software. To do so, we need your help...
