YARP

YARP is an open-source framework that supports distributed computation with an eye at robot control and efficiency. To learn to install and use YARP you can try our tutorials:

• Installation instructions
• A short tutorial on using YARP
• Full online YARP documentation

• A study on YARP performances

To learn more about the philosophy of YARP you can see the paper:

• G. Metta, P. Fitzpatrick, L. Natale. YARP: yet another robot platform. In the International Journal on Advanced Robotics Systems, Special Issue on Software Development and Integration in Robotics. March 2006. (pdf)

We use this wiki to get a start on collaboratively documenting issues, which are then cleaned up and put into our formal documentation.
