JdeRobot is an open source software framework suite for robotics and vision distributed applications written in C++ language. It provides a programming environment where the robot control program is made up of a collection of several concurrent asynchronous threads named schemas. It is based on JDE cognitive architecture for autonomous robots. The underlying theoretical foundations can be found in the related publications.
JdeRobot simplifies the access to robotic hardware from the control program. Getting sensor measurements is as simple as reading a local variable, and ordering motor commands as easy as writing an actuator variable. The platform updates those sensor variables with fresh readings and implements such actuator variables. All of them together set a shared variable API for the robot programming. The robotic application reads and writes such variables to unfold its behavior. They can be connected to real sensors and actuators or simulated ones, both locally or remotely using the network. Several drivers have been developed to support different physical sensors, actuators and simulators. The drivers are used as plugins installed at will depending on your configuration. They are included in the official release.
On top of such variable API there may be perceptive and actuation schemas as building blocks of the robotic application. Perceptive schemas make some data processing to provide information about the world or the robot. Actuation schemas make decisions in order to reacho r maintain some goal. They order motor commands or activate new schemas, because the schemas can be combined forming hierarchies.
