Overview of OpenRTM-aist RT System Editor

At present, OMG is developing specifications for Robot Technology Components (hereafter RTCs), which improve the efficiency of robot development. As a common platform that implements and applies these RTC specifications, the Integrated Intelligence Research Group, Intelligent Systems Research Institute, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), provides OpenRTM-aist.
RTSystemEditor is one of the development tools included in OpenRTM-aist, and it provides functions for graphically operating RTCs in real time. Also, as its name suggests, it is created as a plugin for the Eclipse integrated development environment, and can be operated seamlessly with existing plugins on Eclipse.
