VelCs
VelCs, short for Velocity Control Systems, is an open-source software framework and hardware interface standard designed to facilitate real-time motion control and automation. The project provides modular components for motion planning, motor control, sensor fusion, and safety monitoring, aiming to unify disparate control technologies under a common interface to foster reuse and collaboration across robotics, manufacturing, and autonomous systems.
Origins and development: VelCs originated in 2010 as a collaboration among universities and industry partners to
Architecture and features: VelCs comprises a real-time kernel, a motion-planning layer, a sensor abstraction layer, and
Applications and reception: VelCs is used in academic research, prototyping of robotic systems, CNC and automation
