License: Unknown Price: Free URL: http://claraty.jpl.nasa.gov/ man/ overview/ index.php OSs: Linux, Mac-OS, Solaris, Other, Source Available Limitations: The CLARAty site states: "We are in the process of releasing most of the CLARAty infrastructure and several of its algorithms that have been approved for public release. Our objective is to engage the robotic community in the development and advancement of surface mobility and robotic control algorithms for challenging environments." ReviewText: We haven't tried out the software packages ourselves, but the site is extremely well organized and well documented, which bodes well for the framework. It appears that only a small part of the overall framework has been released at this time, but future releases are planned.
