Octave and Player/Stage

Many research robots use Player/Stage as “middleware” between hardware and software. It previously supported C, C++, Python, and TCL, among others. This library adds support for GNU Octave.

Currently this supports position, sonar, bumper, simulation, and blobfinder (somewhat incompletely, but probably in all the really important ways). Feel free to add others, it’s remarkably easy.

If you’re having trouble getting this to work, ensure your Octave installation supports shared libraries.

Latest Release. Adds camera, map, and localize proxies. Thanks to Paul Osmialowski.
0.19. Adds laser interface. Thanks to Paul Osmialowski.
0.18. Compiles outside of the Player source tree, so it should work with binary installations of Player. Thanks to Allwyn Fernandes. Also now supports the simulation proxy type.
Update for Player verion 1.6.
Older Player versions, tested on 1.5.
Final release for old non-mks Player/Stage.
Earliest C++ Release.
Original implementation. Older, experimental, perhaps informative, but probably not useful. Based on the C library.
