OpenRTM-aist

We, the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology - Intelligent Systems Research Institute - Task Intelligence Research Group, have undertaken most of the development of OpenRTM-aist.

Initially, the project for the research and development of a distributed middleware for robotics took place from fiscal year 2002 to 2004 as a part of the 21st century robot challenge program called Development of the key enabling technologies for Robotics directed by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).

This research project resulted in several specifications of at the distributed middleware interface level and the delivery of of a prototype implementation named OpenRTM-aist.
