Developing applications

Overview

There are many ways to program new behaviours on ARI:

• no-code behaviours creation let you design simple presentations and interaction without write any code. Learn more here.

• You can also program behaviours with Python or C++. ARI comes with a simple tool to generate behaviour skeletons that you can adjust to your needs. Learn more here.

• ARI is entirely based on the open-source ROS framework. If you are familiar with ROS, you might want to directly check Developing for ARI with ROS.
