A robotics suite is a visual environment for robot control and simulation. They typically serve as an end-to-end platform for robotics development, offering tools for visual programming and for creating and debugging robot applications. Developers can often interact with robots via web-based or visual interfaces.
One objective of a robotics suite is to support various robot platforms through a common programming interface. A key feature of a robotics suite is that the same code can run on either a simulated robot or the corresponding real robot without modification.
Some robotics suites are based on free software, free hardware, or both.
