Robotics Technology Architecture (RTA)

RTA — A unified, modular, and extensible technology architecture for next-generation robotics.

Overview

RTA (Robotics Technology Architecture) is an open-source, modular, and extensible framework for robotics, designed to accelerate development, integration, and deployment of advanced robotic systems.

• Unified: Brings together core modules (component, middleware, motion, network, perception, AI, simulation) in a single package.
• Modular: Enable only the modules you need via features, reducing bloat and complexity.
• Extensible: Well-defined traits and interfaces make it easy to build your own components and extend the architecture.
• Modern Rust: Type-safe, async-ready, with a focus on reliability and performance.

Core Modules

• rta::component — Base traits, lifecycle management, ports, component registration
• rta::middleware — Messaging, events, services, distributed communication
• rta::motion — Motion planning, control, and trajectory management
• rta::network — Real-time distributed networking, robot-to-robot and cloud connectivity
• rta::perception — Sensor fusion, object recognition, state estimation (coming soon)
