Project Summary
YARP: Yet Another Robot Platform. Libraries and applications to support flexible communication between processes and devices spread across a local network. Especially useful for inhomogeneous networks with a mixture of operating systems and compilers. Originally developed for large-scale humanoid robot projects such as COG, Kismet, and RobotCub, where many idiosyncratic devices need to be integrated into a single control system without there being any one OS that supports them all. Uses well-specified protocols across tcp, udp, shared-memory, and multicast, with binary and text-mode variants.
