This package provides the c++ extensions for a variety of threaded programming tools. These are usually different on different platforms, so the architecture for a cross-platform framework is also implemented.

These are lightweight text streaming classes that connect to standardised ecl type devices.

Common statistical structures and algorithms for control systems.

Provides a signal/slot mechanism (in the same vein as qt sigslots, boost::signals etc for intra-process communication. These include some improvements - they do not need a preprocessor, are fully type safe, allow for simple connections via a posix style string identifier and are multithread-safe.

Metaprogramming tools move alot of runtime calculations to be shifted to compile time. This has only very elementary structures at this stage.

This package provides simple support to cmath, filling in holes or redefining in a c++ formulation where desirable.

Ecl frontend to a linear matrix package (currently eigen).

Interprocess mechanisms vary greatly across platforms - sysv, posix, win32, there are more than a few. This package provides an infrastructure to allow for developing cross platform c++ wrappers around the lower level c api's that handle these mechanisms. These make it not only easier to utilise such mechanisms, but allow it to be done consistently across platforms.

Any tools relating to mathematical geometry. Primarily featuring polynomials and interpolations.

The formatters here simply format various input types to a specified text format. They can be used with most streaming types (including both ecl and stl streams).

Cross platform filesystem utilities (until c++11 makes its way in).

Template based exceptions - these are simple and practical and avoid the proliferation of exception types. Although not syntatactically ideal, it is convenient and eminently practical.

This provides an Eigen implementation for ecl's linear algebra.

Provides an extensible and standardised framework for input-output devices.

This includes a suite of programs demo'ing various aspects of the ecl_core. It also includes various benchmarking and utility programs for use primarily with embedded systems.

A set of tools and interfaces extending the capabilities of c++ to provide a lightweight, consistent interface with a focus for control programming.

Some fast/convenient type converters, mostly for char strings or strings. These are not really fully fleshed out, alot of them could use the addition for the whole range of fundamental types (e.g. all integers, not just int, unsigned int). They will come as the need arises.

The containers included here are intended to extend the stl containers. In all cases, these implementations are designed to implement c++ conveniences and safety where speed is not sacrificed. Also includes techniques for memory debugging of common problems such as buffer overruns.

Introduces a compile time concept checking mechanism that can be used most commonly to check for required functionality when passing template arguments.

Embeds the TCLAP library inside the ecl. This is a very convenient command line parser in templatised c++.

The iot_bridge provides a bi-directional bridge between ROS and the OpenHAB Home Automation system. This allows a ROS robot to connect to a vast variety of IoT devices such as motion detectors, Z-Wave devices, lighting, door locks, etc.

Interactive control for generic Twist-based robots using interactive markers

Cartographer is a system that provides real-time simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) in 2D and 3D across multiple platforms and sensor configurations. This package provides Cartographer's RViz integration.

ROS messages for the cartographer_ros package.

A ROS Driver for V4L USB Cameras

RoDI ROS package. Allows to control a RoDI from the Robot Operating System (ROS) without the need to flash a custom firmware and just using the default firmware web services API.

A library for communication with the SICK LD-MRS series of laser scanners.

The ps4eye package

RCLL simulation access through Fawkes

ROS-Industrial support for ABB manipulators (metapackage).

Meta package for ROS ar_track_alvar related packages.

RCLL refbox communication adapter

The Kinematics and Dynamics Library (KDL) defines a tree structure to represent the kinematic and dynamic parameters of a robot mechanism.

A catkin package that provides the EPOS Command Library

A wrapper around the EPOS Command Library to provide easy integration with ROS control

The geonav_transform package

The speech_database package performs text-to-speech conversion by using Google's speech synthesiser. It also provides a storage solution for synthesised speech. Speech can be accessed by publishing a text string at the /speech topic. If no entry exists, the text will by synthesised and stored locally in an mp3 file. After an entry that corresponds to the text was found or created, a request to play the audio file is published at the /robotsound topic to be processed by the soundplay_node.py of the sound_play package.
