Brain Player

UserPreferences

This is a page for discussing how Player/Stage can be used by the RobotBrain.

The most important part of Player is the client (device) side. And the protocol used to communicate with them. We may (probably do) want to replace the server part with our own DAI scheme. We would not be the first. The ORCA project discusses their motivation here FAQ. Another interesting user of Player/Stage is the MARIE which "uses the mediator design pattern for distributed system in order to cope with different applications not sharing the same communication protocol."

The CMvision player device documentation node leads to Video4Linux. This and other video/vision can be discussed on BrainVision.

There is a wifi device driver in Player, it and other wifi can be discussed on BrainWiFi.

BrainMotion is for discussing making the platform move. It may be possible to use a player position driver as-is. Or we may need to adapt one. Some of the more promising ones are part of a 'whole robot' package
