What it does

  • Loads a single robot.yaml describing a robot's platform, sensors, mounts, manipulators, links and system settings.
  • Validates each section with its own sub-config module and exposes typed accessors.
  • Acts as the entry point to the Clearpath ROS 2 stack, feeding generators that produce launch files, parameters and descriptions.
  • Provides sample configurations under the sample folder as starting points for a robot.yaml.
  • Includes test-named sample files that serve as fixtures for the clearpath_generator_tests project.

Robots that can run it

No robot on Robotheca is linked to it yet. Links come from a robot's robot.yaml, from its dependency files read as text, or from Robotheca's editors.

Robotheca lists software as a reference: nothing is hosted or run here, and every fact links to where it was read.
