Download OpenJAUS v3.3 and Free Your Robots
     

Tom
Galluzzo of the OpenJAUS team wrote to let us know that OpenJAUS version 3.3.0
is now available. OpenJAUS is a free software, open source software
library and development kit that implements the                      
Joint Architecture for
Unmanned Systems (JAUS) reference
architecture version 3.3 and SAE
AS-4 (PDF format) data transport protocols. Support for the JAUS
standard is mandated by the US Dept of Defense for all robots and
unmanned systems including AUVs, UAVs, and UGVs. The standard exists to
make sure robots used by the government can be made interoperable,
scalable, and will remain open. The SAE is migrating the standard as
AS-4 to ensure an open standard for use in civil and commercial robots.
The OpenJAUS team says their latest code release "includes all the
software and sample code that you need to JAUS enable a robot
immediately". They further note that OpenJAUS offers comparable
performance to proprietary products such as Microsoft Robotics Studio
and Evolution Robotics ESRP. For more info, see the OpenJAUS FAQ, the OpenJAUS
tutorials, or just download the
code. Read on for the full text of their press release.
