This project adds ROS support to RTAI-Lab. As with RTAI-Lab it allows to generate code directly from Matlab/Simulink that can be compiled and executed on the the RTAI real-time Linux. Unlike RTAI-Lab it is no longer required to use special software like xrtailab to communicate with a running real-time process. Instead you can use the tools provided by ROS.
Version 1.0 is fully compatible with RTAI-Lab tools. The development version is also fully compatible, but will not automatically start the host interface task to communicate with xrtailab.
RTAI-ROS was created as a part of a master thesis in mechatronics at the Institute of Robotics at the Johannes Kepler University Linz.
See the documentation for installation and how to use it.
