URBI SDK

URBI SDK gives you a simple but powerful way to control any type of robot or complex system like a video game, using a convenient and easy-to-use scripting language that can be interfaced with several popular programming languages.

URBI is based on a client/server architecture, which give a great deal of flexibility. URBI includes powerful features such as parallel execution of commands, event programming, command tagging, and dynamic variables.

What is new in this release:

• Even more bug and documentation fixes.
• Boost and ROS have been upgraded.
• Initial support for pkg-config.

What is new in version 2.7.3:

• File descriptor leaks when using Process (Section 23.48).
• Compatibility with Boost 1.46.
• Binary packages now include simple aliases to the Boost libraries (e.g., you may use ‘-lboost_date_time' instead of ‘-lboost_date_time-gcc44-mt-1_38').
• Binary packages on Ubuntu Lucid now use its native Boost libraries (1.40) instead of Boost 1.38, and were built with ROS Diamondback.

What is new in version 2.0.3:

• New Features:
• Container (Section 19.8), prototype for Dictionary (Section 19.11), List (Section 19.30) derive.
• e not in c is mapped onto c.hasNot(e) instead of !c.has(e).
• Float.limits (Section 19.20)
• JobasString
• IoService (Section 19.26)
• Event''
• ListargMax, ListargMin, Listzip
• Tuple'+'
• Tuple'*'
• Assertion failures are more legible:
• var one = 1|;
• var two = 2|;
• assert (one == two);
• [00000002:error] !!! failed assertion: one == two (1 != 2)
• instead of
• assert (one == two);
• [00000002:error] !!! failed assertion: one.'=='(two)
• previously. As a consequence, System.assert_op is deprecated. The never documented following slots have been removed from System (Section 19.58): assert_eq, assert_ge, assert_gt, assert_le, assert_lt, assert_meq, assert_mne, assert_ne.
• Fixes:
• List'' and Tuple'' implement true lexicographic order: [0, 4] < [1, 3] is true. List comparison used to implement member-wise comparison; the previous assertion was not verified because 4 < 3 is not true.
• MutexasMutex is fixed.
• Directory (Section 19.12) events were not launched if a Directory (Section 19.12) had already been created on the same Path (Section 19.41).
• waituntil no longer ignores pattern guards.
• Documentation:
• Garbage collection (Section 18.11).
• Structural Pattern matching (Section 18.5).
• CallMessagesender and CallMessagetarget.
• DictionaryasString.
• DirectoryfileCreated and DirectoryfileDeleted.
• Listmax, Listmin.
• MutexasMutex.
• ObjectlocalSlotNames.
