Robotics applications are typically distributed, made up of a collection of concurrent asynchronous components which communicate using some middleware (ROS messages, ICE, DDS…). Building robotics applications is a complex task. Integrating existing nodes or libraries, which provide already solved functionality, and using several tools may increase the software robustness and shorten the development time. JdeRobot toolkit provides several tools, libraries and reusable nodes for Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision.

Main Features
ROS friendly (full compatible with ROS-Kinetic)
C++, Python, JavaScript
Open Source
Easy installation from debian, PIP and npm packages

Our (international) community mainly works on three fields inside Robotics and Computer Vision:

Development Areas Products
Robotics Education and Games Robotics-Academy, offline platform for engineering students
Unibotics, open online platform for learning robotics
MachineLearning in Robotics DetectionMetrics tool for evaluation of visual detection networks
BehaviorMetrics tool for evaluation of control networks
Reinforcement Learning Studio, robot programming with rewards
Reconfigurable Computing in Robotics neuralFPGA, run deeplearning networks on FPGAs
FPGA-robotics, design your robot intelligence with IceStudio blocks
VisualCircuit visual robot programming using connected blocks and wires

We are registered as non-profit organization in Spain Ref.#615800.

Roadmap

We are working on:

  • Update of underlying infrastructure: jump to Ubuntu 20.04, ROS Noetic, Gazebo11 simulator, Python 3.5.
  • Use of reconfigurable hardware (FPGAs) in robotics, with third party open tools like IceStudio
  • VisualStates tool for visual programming of the robot intelligence with Finite State Machines. It creates a C++ or a Python component from the visual description of the automata.
  • RoboticsAcademy: a framework to learn Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision in a practical way. It is a collection of Python exercises. Our goal is to provide its functionality as a web service and create new exercises.
  • (done) All our web pages are finally being migrated to GitHub Pages: nice, under version control and convenient
  • (done) Compatibility with ROS robotics middleware: interoperation between ROS nodes and JdeRobot components, use of ROS drivers, use of ROS bag files… JdeRobot (>= 5.6) is fully compatible with ROS Kinetic including its official debian packages
  • (done) Update of underlying infrastructure: jump to Ubuntu 16.04, OpenCV-3, migration to Gazebo-7 simulator (revisit existing plugins and models), PCL-1.8, ICE-3.6
  • (done) Use of Web technologies in robotics: ICE-JS, WebRTC, HTML5, electron, nodeJS… Many webtools have been developed: viewers, teleoperators and drivers.
