What is this Python project?
Python ROS Bridge library allows to use Python and IronPython to interact with ROS, the open-source robotic middleware. It uses WebSockets to connect to rosbridge 2.0 and provides publishing, subscribing, service calls, actionlib, TF, and other essential ROS functionality.
Unlike the rospy library, this does not require a local ROS environment, allowing usage from platforms other than Linux.
What's the difference between this Python project and similar ones?
- This is the only Python client for ROS that is cross platforms
- Supports IronPython as well (which means it runs inside Rhino/Grasshopper for 3D/architecture applications)
- The closest package to this would be rospy, but it only runs in Linux, and only within a ROS environment
