Versatile Programming Support
Understanding the diverse needs of developers and researchers, RealMan ensures that their robotic arms are accessible through various programming environments:
- C++ and Python: Developers can utilize these languages for real-time control and integration, leveraging the open API library that supports both.
- MATLAB: For those in academic and research settings, MATLAB offers a robust platform for algorithm development and data analysis. RealMan's integration with MATLAB allows for seamless communication with ROS networks, enabling users to create and deploy ROS nodes directly from MATLAB and Simulink.
Education Initiative
This collaboration aims to enhance the educational resources available to students and enthusiasts and also foster a community centered around innovation and open-source robotics hardware and software.
Together, RealMan Robotics and Rose City Robotics are paving the way for accessible and advanced robotics education, ensuring that learners are well-equipped to contribute to the evolving field of robotics.
