openrr: Open Rust Robotics

For developers and future users

OpenRR (pronounced like "opener") is Open Rust Robotics platform.

It's heavily under development.

Supported Platforms

• You can use ROS without ROS installation on Linux/MacOS.
• ROS2 Support is experimental. See arci-ros2 for details.

Dependencies

Linux

sudo apt install cmake build-essential libudev-dev xorg-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libasound2-dev libxkbcommon-dev

• cmake build-essential (openrr-planner (assimp-sys))
• libudev-dev (arci-gamepad-gilrs)
• xorg-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libxkbcommon-dev (openrr-gui (egui))
• libasound2-dev (arci-speak-audio)

Architecture

arci is a hardware abstraction layer for openrr. Currently ROS1 and urdf-viz (as a static simulator (actually it's just a viewer)) are implemented.

You can write platform/hardware independent code if you use arci traits.

What is OpenRR?

OpenRR contains..

• abstract robot interfaces (arci)
• concrete implementation of the interfaces (arci-ros, arci-urdf-viz, ...)
• library which uses the interfaces (openrr-client, ...)
• tools (openrr-apps)
• pure libraries nothing to do with arci (openrr-planner, ...)

Tools

Currently we have some tools to control real/sim robots.

See openrr-apps for details.

joint_trajectory_sender

Inspired by joint_state_publisher_gui

You can use this GUI not only for ROS but anything if you implement arci::JointTrajectoryClient and write a small binary main function.

robot_command

General CLI to access arci robot clients. It supports not only sending joint trajectory directly but it supports inverse kinematics with self-collision check, and navigation.

Format

To format use nightly rustfmt,

cargo +nightly fmt

Why OpenRR?

We strongly believe that Rust is the future of robotics. OpenRR is the world first robotics platform which is made by Rust, made for Rust. It can be a reference, a base for the future robotic people, like us.
