This is particularly evident in the areas of computational and theoretical cognitive science where, despite this progress, robotics remains sufficiently inaccessible to non-specialists as to dissuade its use. This is due in no small part to the issue of code re-usability across differing hardware platforms and the lack of low-level support for developing suitable drivers for the main robotics development tools. To address this issue, this work presents ACorDE: Autonomous Control Development Environment. This development environment takes in data pertaining to the robotic platform and generates suitable driver and behavioural code in a standardised format.1087784 bytesapplication/pdfenRoboticsDevelopment environmentPlatformRoboticsComputer software--DevelopmentConference Publicationhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/1.0/
