What it does
- Provides abstract robot interfaces (arci) with concrete implementations for ROS1 and the urdf-viz viewer.
- Includes tools such as joint_trajectory_sender, a GUI for sending joint trajectories, and robot_command, a CLI with inverse kinematics and navigation.
- Supports Linux (Ubuntu), macOS, and Windows for its core; ROS1 works on Linux and macOS without a ROS installation.
- ROS2 support on Ubuntu is experimental and lives in the arci-ros2 crate.
- Bundles related libraries for kinematics, path planning, trajectory interpolation, and URDF parsing and visualization.
- Has a tutorial book available in English and Japanese.

Links
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.
