Show HN: Basis – a production focused robotics framework 11 by a_t48 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN! Myself and my cofounder are excited to actually launch the product we've been working for the past six months. It's a robotics framework with a focus on testing and production. The current industry standard (ROS) is great for prototyping, but suffers from performance and testing problems as the robot gets more complex. I would have loved to work on this another six months or a year to polish it up and really, but I know it's better to launch a bit before you think you're ready. It's a C++ pub-sub framework (a lot like ROS, in that way), but rather than declaring C++ publishers/subscribers directly, you declare the topics and types your code cares about in a configuration file, along with conditions on those inputs. Doing this allows for deep knowledge about the code running, which unlocks the possibility of deterministic simulation and testing (along with mak...
