OpenKAI: A lightweight & paralleled framework for unmanned vehicle and robot control

OpenKAI is an open-source framework that realize rapid prototyping & development of unmanned vehicles and robots. It features a simple and unified multi-threading modular architecture which is purely written in C++. OpenKAI is light weight to run on embedded hardwares yet is scalable to utilize the resources on high performance platforms. OpenKAI is highly customizable for versatile applications and easily expanded to support new devices.

We are keep adding supports for sensors and actuators available on market from hackable modules to industry solutions. The supported devices can be used easily as an abstracted object in OpenKAI. We welcome contributions from vendors to provide evaluation device, as well as coders from open-source community.
