Overview

The Open Robot Control Software (OROCOS) project provides a set of C++ libraries for advanced robot and machine control. The framework is divided into several components, including a real-time toolkit for deterministic execution, a component library for building modular applications, and a kinematics and dynamics library for motion control. OROCOS is designed to be hardware-agnostic and can be used with a variety of real-time operating systems.

✨ Key Features

  • Real-time control
  • Component-based software engineering
  • Kinematics and dynamics library
  • Hardware-agnostic
  • Portable and extensible

🎯 Key Differentiators

  • Focus on real-time control
  • Component-based architecture
  • Hardware-agnostic

Unique Value: Provides a robust and flexible framework for building real-time robot control applications, enabling the development of high-performance and deterministic systems.

🎯 Use Cases (4)

Real-time robot control Industrial automation Machine control Haptics

✅ Best For

  • Used in a variety of research and industrial projects that require real-time control of robots and machines.

💡 Check With Vendor

Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:

  • High-level robotics applications that do not require real-time control.

🏆 Alternatives

ROS 2 VxWorks QNX

While ROS 2 is moving towards real-time, OROCOS has a longer history and a more mature set of tools for real-time control. Its component-based architecture also promotes modularity and reusability.
