04Robotics System Integration
One containerized environment that takes your robot software from development through simulation to deployment.
Let's discuss an environment for your robots and your team.
Drydock is built on OpenRoSDE, the open-source SDE that Coarobo leads, and holds the private platforms and setups of your own robots, which Coarobo prepares with you.
Same Environment
Every machine of the team runs the same containers, in simulation or on the robot.
Any Platform
ROS 1 and ROS 2 stand side by side, with the drivers of each robot in its own image.
Open Core
Its base, OpenRoSDE, is open source under the Apache License 2.0.
Choose the image of your robot, from the public platforms of OpenRoSDE or a private platform of your own.
Work in your own layer on top of the platform, with ROS, Gazebo, RViz, and FlexBE ready to use.
Test the robot software in simulation, in the same container that will run on the robot.
Run the same image on the real robot, so what worked in simulation runs on site.
Drydock stands on OpenRoSDE, the open-source SDE that Coarobo leads with research teams worldwide, and adds what belongs to your robots alone.
Coarobo Drydock
The private platforms, devices, and setups of your robots, prepared and kept up to date with Coarobo.
OpenRoSDE
The open-source containerized SDE: three Docker layers, ROS 1 and ROS 2, Gazebo, and the public platforms.
Containerized SDE
The same environment on every machine.
The open-source containerized software development environment (SDE) for collaborative research in robotic system integration.
A shared base, an image for each robot platform, and a user layer for each developer.
ROS Noetic and ROS 2 run side by side, so a project moves to ROS 2 at its own pace.
Gazebo and the real robot run the same software, from the same image.
COBOTTA, Fetch, HSR, Sciurus17, TurtleBot3, and UR5e, ready to start from.
Grippers, depth cameras, and 3D mice come as devices that any platform can add.
Ready-made terminal sessions start the robot, the simulation, and the tools in one command.
University laboratories whose students share robots and machines.
Every student works in the same environment from the first day, and results stay reproducible.
Teams that integrate several robots and devices into one system.
Each platform keeps its drivers in its own image, so robots never break each other's setup.
Companies that move robot software from simulation to the factory floor.
The image tested in simulation is the one deployed on the robot.
Tell us about your robots and your team, and let's discuss an environment for them.
See the open-source SDE that Drydock is built on, and its community.
Start with the public platforms of OpenRoSDE on GitHub.
OpenRoSDE is the open-source SDE, free under the Apache License 2.0. Drydock is the product of Coarobo built on it, which adds the private platforms and setups of your robots, prepared with Coarobo.
The public platforms of OpenRoSDE are COBOTTA, Fetch, HSR, Sciurus17, TurtleBot3, and UR5e, and Drydock adds the platform of your own robot.
Yes, through WSL 2 with Docker, as well as on Ubuntu 24.04.
Yes, its open-source base, OpenRoSDE, is free on GitHub under the Apache License 2.0, so your team can start with its public platforms before Drydock adds the platforms of your own robots.
Yes, ROS Noetic and ROS 2 run side by side in Drydock, so each project moves to ROS 2 at its own pace.
Yes, OpenRoSDE, the base of Drydock, is described in an open-access paper published in the journal Advanced Robotics in 2022.
Coarobo Drydock is part of the Coarobo suite, one family of products made to work together around our open-source core.
