This is the official project page of the RRlib (Robotics Research Library) developed in the Robotics Research Lab at the University of Kaiserslautern.

 

RRlib is meant to become a compendium of hard- and software development best practices and tools for robot development. In many years of research at the Robotics Research Lab special electronics, drivers and higher software libraries have been developed which shall be published for the benefit of the robotics research community. We hope that through sharing our experience with others we can set impulses for further development in the whole field.

 

 

make builder is now the default build system for mca2-kl. Thanks to Max Reichardt the tool replaces the slower scons-based solution with augmented usability and configurability.

 

The crucial todo concerning the port of mcagui and mcabrowser to qt4 was a long pending. For a long time noone dared to open that box as it was feared to contain a lot of work. Two brave souls confronted and defeated the foe. For their dedication and suffered frustration we thank Jens Wettach (who did most of the work) and Tobias Luksch.

 

Installing mca2-kl is not trivial but way easier with a step-by-step installation and trouble shooting guide. The experiences exchanged in the forum were compiled into one structured section summarising all issues and known problems. We would like to thank Daniel Schmidt for starting this section and hope for more volunteers to contribute at this point.

 

If you want to be up to date with the development at RRLib, send an email to the initiating author to receive our newsletter. The newsletter is basically a compilation of news you find on this page accompanied with additional background information. Newletters will only be issued if new libraries, sections or interesting features appear on the RRLib site such that there will be no regular schedule.
