The OMG has developed the Robot Technology Component (RTC) specification as a way to increase the efficiency of robot development. Based on this specification, AIST has developed the OpenRTM-aist. RT System Editor is one of the development tools included in this architecture. It is used for manipulating RT Components in a real-time graphical interface. It is a plugin for the Eclipse IDE, and interacts seamlessly with other Eclipse plugins.
Target Audience
This document is targetted at those who already have an understanding of the basic principles of RT Components. Details of the RTC specification and use can be found at the OMG and AIST.
