additional software support for the SRV-1 ...

We have been working on a variety of projects to add support within other robotics programming environments for the SRV-1. We are at various stages of development with all of these porting efforts, and some should be complete quite soon. All of these projects are interfacing through our published SRV-1 control protocol and employ existing versions of SRV-1 firmware without modification.
  • Pyro - http://www.pyrorobotics.org - Pyro stands for Python Robotics. The goal of the project is to provide a programming environment for easily exploring advanced topics in artificial intelligence and robotics without having to worry about the low-level details of the underlying hardware. Pyro is written in Python.

  • Webots - http://www.cyberbotics.com - The Webots mobile robotics simulation software provides a rapid prototyping environment for modelling, programming and simulating mobile robots under Windows, Mac OS/X and Linux. The 3D modeling and physics are outstanding.

  • URBI - http://www.urbiforge.com - URBI is a Universal Real-time Behavior Interface which provides a simple but powerful way to control any robot or complex system like a video game, using a convenient and easy to use scripting language that can be interfaced with several popular programming languages (C++, Java, Matlab,...) and OS (Windows, Mac OSX, Linux).

  • Microsoft Robotics Studio - http://www.microsoft.com/robotics/ - The Microsoft Robotics Studio is a Windows-based environment for academic, hobbyist and commercial developers to easily create robotics applications across a wide variety of hardware. Key features and benefits include: end-to-end robotics development platform, lightweight services-oriented runtime, and a scalable / extensible platform.

  • Player/Stage - http://playerstage.sourceforge.net - The Player Project creates Free Software (GPL) that enables research in robot and sensor systems. The Player robot server is probably the most widely used robot control interface in the world. Its simulation backends, Stage and Gazebo, are also very widely used.

We'll post notices to this journal when release versions of any interface code become available. In case anyone is already actively working with any of these tools and has interest in testing SRV-1 support in advance of general release, please let us know at support@surveyor.com.
