Package Summary

CWRU Experimental

The CWRU Experimental stack contains experimental packages for the JAUS protocol, obstacle planning, vision, voice, and two different steering algorithms. This code is considered incomplete, untested, or otherwise not ready to be declared "semi stable."

CWRU Semi Stable

The CWRU Semi Stable stack contains the core packages for the HARLIE-class mobile base, as well as a driver for the laser ranging sensor in the Neato xv-11 robotic vaccuum.

CWRU Utilities

CWRU Utilities is a standalone package containing a few useful utilities for testing, calibrating, and characterizing our robots.

CWRU ABBY

The CWRU ABBY stack contains packages developed for ABBY, a mobile industrial manipulator based on a HARLIE-class mobile robot base and a ABB IRB-120 industrial robotic arm.

CWRU Tour Guide
