  3. This very document includes a detailed description of the different tools installed and how to test their correct installation using a specific installer.

Introduction

proteus

RobotML-sdk is a set of tools developed or selected within the PROTEUS project when specifying it. As already explained and shown again on the picture, in order to provide the whole power of RobotML, there is a need to provide the different possible targets on which to generate actual behaviour for the robot either in simulators or in actual robots. It is available as a set of Debian packages for the selected project’s operating system Ubuntu Linux distribution.

Those tools are up-to-date on PROTEUS APT repository hosted by univ-orleans.fr.

Warning

The repository’s access is secured, as some software are not free, every member has credentials to install and update his distribution.

Here follows the list of tools included in the sdk.
