MrCS - Multirobot Control System

MrCS is a software package that provides cross platform code for controlling large teams of robots. It is designed to work with the high-fidelity USARSim simulation environment to allow research into large-scale human-robot interaction. It contains components for doing many fundamental robotic tasks such as SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping), path planning, and reactive collision avoidance.

MrCS was developed as a collaboration between the University of Pittsburgh Department of Information Sciences and the Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute's Intelligent Software Agents Laboratory.

The entire MrCS codebase is written in Java, allowing it to easily be distributed over multiple machines and operating systems. It is packaged as a Netbeans project, however, the source code can be checked out and compiled on its own. To check out a read-write copy of the tree, you will need SSH access on this machine (athiri). The following instructions assume that you already have such access.

To check out the latest Netbeans project:

svn co svn+ssh://yourid@athiri.cimds.ri.cmu.edu//usr1/svn/mrcs/trunk

To check out just the MrCS source code:

svn co svn+ssh://yourid@athiri.cimds.ri.cmu.edu//usr1/svn/mrcs/trunk/src
