Project Background

This project is a modularized software framework for generic robot development and research. The modularized platform separates low level components that vary from robot to robot from the high level logic that does not vary across robots. The low level components include processes to communicate with motors and sensors on the robot, including the camera. The high level components include the state machines that control how the robots move around and process sensor data. By separating into these levels, we achieve a more adaptable system that is easily ported to different robots.
