We
recently released our Java based ROS Client in our RMDMIA Framework
with the addition of functional UDPROS support. We currently are
releasing our ROS Client under our Preview Evaluation License for free.
We intend to use a much more open license on the ROS Client version of
it after we deal with IP on our Autonomous framework. A list of
tutorials is below. To enable UDP, specify UDPROS in the Preferred
Protocol Column in the Configuration Manager, Save and Restart.</div><div class="yiv3920158701" id="yiv3920158701yui_3_16_0_1_1404312078596_7574" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:16px;font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;">

Java based Robotic
Software Controller Framework for the RMDMIA for
Android/Java(Robotic Mission Decision Manager Intelligent
Agent). API Documentation, and framework included. The RMDMIA Framework
is a plugin/provider framework that is flexible enough
that a developer can write a User Interface plugin that works across
multiple Robotic Hardware Control Systems. This Technology Preview
Release includes a configurable Timer Service, RCSM (Robot Control
System Messenger) API, and ROCI (Robot Operator Control Interface) API.
Implementers of ROCI, & RCSM interfaces will be able to post there
plugins/providers/RMDMIA components to the Happy Artist
Marketplace in the near future.
