Welcome to The BABEL Development Site v3.0
The BABEL Development System is a programming language / operating system neutral framework for creating complex software applications with the focus in coping with heterogeneity (typically, very different program code produced by different people to manage diverse software and hardware devices). It was born in the robotics domain, where heterogeneity is of the uttermost importance, particularly in today's large scale and long-term projects.
This framework is being developed since 1996 at the System Engineering and Automation Department of the University of Málaga [1] and it's aimed to cover several aspects of the robotic software lifecycle, such as the design, validation, debugging, implementation, testing, and manteinance phases.
Within this site you can find all the tools and documentation produced for Babel. We also maintain here (restricted) a repository of the software modules developed with our system for our robotic applications.
On your left you can see different sections:
- The BABEL System. It contains documentation of the different components of the BABEL Development System.
- BABEL Documentation. All the documentation we currently have for our system (appart from the scientific publications, that you can find in the main page of BABEL)
- Robotic Software Development. In this section you can find general information about the development of robotic software.
Note: This site is always under maintenance, so we apologize for not all the information being available at a given time.
