Hello,
It has been a while that I have not done any robots programming, so I need to update my skills.
What is the most recent robotics toolkit library? There are carmen and mrpt.org - but they both seem kind of old? What is the newest of such software, with community support? Are there any new ones?
Also, I dont want to work with arduino, nor pic - I have done both and I want to graduate from both of them? What would you guys suggest? ARM???
Best Regards,
C.B.
Have you looked at the FEZ
Have you looked at the FEZ Domino ?
How about the Propeller?
How about Netduino? .Net
How about Netduino ? .Net framework and you can still using arduino shield.

mbed ARM
You can check out the mbed platform that has online IDE and C++ compiler. Here are a list of features:
Features
Can be powered by USB or an external 4.5 – 14 V supply
Compact module: 54 mm × 26 mm
Convenient form-factor: 40-pin DIP (0.9" row spacing), 0.1" pitch
Drag-and-drop programming, with the board represented as a USB drive
Best-in-class Cortex-M3 hardware
96 MHz ARM with 64 KB of SRAM, 512 KB of Flash
Ethernet, USB OTG
SPI, I2C, UART, CAN
GPIO, PWM, ADC, DAC, DMA
Easy-to-use, free online tools
Web-based C/C++ programming environment
Uses the ARM RealView compile engine
API-driven development using libraries with intuitive interfaces
Comprehensive help and online community
On-board LEDs can be used for feedback, and a serial port over the USB connection allows for printf-style debugging
EZ-Robot seems to be an easy
EZ-Robo t seems to be an easy way to start robot programming. Including a .NET library for robotics stuff like sensors, servos etc.
Here you can watch a video trailer on Youtube.
And here you can find an example robot.
Didn’t tested it by myself.
I need something harder
Hello all, and thanks for the replies.
I am looking for something more complicated then .net, arduino, or pic.
Propeller seems like a good option, as well as the mbed arm.
How about real arm boards? or even x86? for example, I with an x86, one could use opencv and image processing.
I have been coding opencv, and I would love to write something for a robot, for example optical flow, but I am lacking the platform.
For now, I need to decide whether to go arm or x86.
Mean while, I am developing a 3d printed, pic based small bot, and i will be posting it soon.
Best Regards,
C.B.
