What is RAASPI/BUSS?
RAASPI/BUSS is an open-source robotics middleware framework for creating complex and robust robot software architectures. It provides a structured communications layer on top of the host operating system, along with hardware abstraction, device drivers, libraries, visualizers, and more.
Some key capabilities and features of RAASPI/BUSS include:
- Hardware abstraction for sensors, actuators, and other devices
- Structured inter-process communication using a publish/subscribe model
- Asynchronous message passing between processes
- Graphical telemetry and visualization tools for debugging
- Modular architecture for organizing complex robotics systems
- Packages and tools for computer vision, navigation, manipulation, and more
- Simulation environments with physics, sensors, and virtual robots
- Large community supported ecosystem for development and distribution
RAASPI/BUSS aims to provide productivity boosts for robotics developers, researchers, and hobbyists by handling low-level messaging and hardware control so they can focus on high-level robot behavior and intelligence.
