MobileRobots' Advanced Robot Interface for Applications (ARIA) is a C++ library (software development toolkit or SDK) for all MobileRobots/ActivMedia platforms. ARIA can dynamically control your robot's velocity, heading, relative heading, and other motion parameters either through simple low-level commands or through its high-level Actions infrastructure. ARIA also receives odometric position estimates, sonar readings, and all other current operating data sent by the robot platform.

ARIA provides tools to integrate I/O with your own custom hardware—digital, analog, and serial—and includes comprehensive support for all MobileRobots/ActivMedia robot accessories, including the SICK LMS200 laser-range finder, pan-tilt-zoom cameras, Pioneer Gripper and Arm, and more.

MobileSim is software for simulating MobileRobots/ActivMedia platforms and their environments, for debugging and experimentation with ARIA.
