[ros-users] Multi-robot administration interface

Wed Mar 16 14:12:35 UTC 2011

I was asking for both. If a Surface-like SDK existed, it could be used to
control multiple robots. And viceversa with the framework for controlling
multiple robots, it can be expanded to work on something similar to MS
Surface.

I had already read about Building Manager, but it's still on a early stage
of development as far as I can see, so it doesn't fit my timeschedule. I'll
keep an eye on it as we're already planning on using multimaster with ros
relay.

In any case, I wouldn't develop it to run under Windows ;)

Thanks for the information provided.
