ARIA

The ActivMedia Robotics Interface for Applications (ARIA) is C++-based open-source
development environment that provides a robust client-side interface to a variety of
intelligent robotics systems, including your ActivMedia robot's controller and accessory
systems.
ARIA is the ideal platform for integration of your own robot-control software, since it
neatly handles the lower-level details of client-server interactions, including serial
communications, command and server-information packet processing, cycle timing,
and multithreading, as well as a variety of accessory controls, such as for the PTZ robotic
camera, the P2-Gripper, scanning laser-range finder, and motion gyros, among many
others.
What's more, it comes with source code so that you may examine the software and
modify it for your own sensors and applications.
