Aseba's core is a lightweight virtual machine, small enough to run on any 16 bits microcontroller. In Aseba, all virtual machines are linked in a network and all their programs are developed and debugged from a single application, Aseba Studio.

Aseba allows one to program Thymio, a small robot to discover the universe of robotics and learn a robot's language.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: aseba-plugin-blockly

This package is part of ROS, the Robot Operating System. The catkin tools provide functionality to work with the catkin meta buildsystem and catkin workspaces, similar to the way the colcon tools support working with ROS 2 ament packages.

The catkin tools provide a convenient interface to build and test multiple packages in a catkin workspace, resolving all inter-dependencies and isolating the builds from each other.

This package installs the Python 3 module and the CLI executable.

A flexible, extensible, and powerful assistive technology that provides end-user access to applications and toolkits that support the AT-SPI (e.g., the GNOME desktop).

Orca defines a set of default behaviors (reactions to application events) and key bindings (reaction to user key presses). These default behaviors and key bindings can be overwritten on a per-application basis. Orca creates a script object for each running application, which merges both the default behaviors and key bindings, and the application specific ones. Orca provides the infrastructure to activate and deactivate scripts, as well as a host of services accessible from within the scripts.

Gnuplot is a portable command-line driven interactive data and function plotting utility that supports lots of output formats, including drivers for many printers, (La)TeX, (x)fig, Postscript, and so on. The X11-output is packaged in gnuplot-x11.

Data files and self-defined functions can be manipulated by the internal C-like language. Can perform smoothing, spline-fitting, or nonlinear fits, and can work with complex numbers.

This metapackage is to install a full-featured gnuplot (-qt, -x11 or -nox).

The Open Motion Planning Library is a set of sampling-based motion planning algorithms. The content of the library is limited to these algorithms, which means there is no environment specification, no collision detection or visualization. The library is designed so it can be easily integrated into systems that provide the additional needed components. This package contains a set of demos of the library.

solid - wnpp
Software library for collision detection of geometric objects in 3D space.
License: GPL, QPL
Debian package not available
Language: C++

Collision detection is the process of detecting pairs of objects that are intersecting or are within a given proximity of each other. SOLID contains operations for performing intersection tests and proximity queries on a wide variety of shape types, including: deformable triangle meshes, boxes, ellipsoids, and convex polyhedra.

Since it exploits temporal coherence in a number of ways, SOLID is especially useful for detecting collisions between objects that move smoothly over time. The motions of objects are controlled by the client application, and are not determined or affected by SOLID.

Although it can be used for physics-based simulations, SOLID is not a physics engine by itself. SOLID leaves it up to the application programmer how the laws of physics are implemented.

at performance and accuracy, that supports rigid objects as well as deformables - such as cloth - including self-collision detection.

openrave
OpenRAVE robotics platform
License: LGPL-3
Debian package not available

OpenRAVE provides an environment for testing, developing, and deploying motion planning algorithms in real-world robotics applications. The main focus is on simulation and analysis of kinematic and geometric information related to motion planning. OpenRAVE's stand-alone nature allows is to be easily integrated into existing robotics systems.

It provides many command line tools to work with robots and planners, and the run-time core is small enough to be used inside controllers and bigger frameworks. An important target application is industrial robotics automation.

roboop
