Overview

Roslisp is a client library for writing ROS nodes in idiomatic Common Lisp. The library is written to support ease of use, quick scripting of nodes, and interactive debugging of a running ROS system.

See the roslisp overview for a guide to roslisp's features.

Status

Roslisp is part of the stable ROS core distribution, and follows the ROS versioning policy.

Roslisp has been tested fairly extensively on Ubuntu (Jaunty or later), and to some degree on OS X 10.5.

See the roslip roadmap for future changes.

Dependencies
