ROS Software Maintainer: PAL Robotics

ARI is a high-performance robotic platform designed for a wide range of multimodal expressive gestures and behaviors, making it the ideal social robot and suitable for Human-Robot-Interaction, perception, cognition, navigation, and interaction. Its behavior can be customized using the provided, easy to use, web interface. You can also dive deeper and integrate it thanks to its extensive ROS API to easily develop, simulate and deploy application on the robot.

For technical questions regarding the public simulation of the robot please email to ari-support@pal-robotics.com
