DLR-RM/RAFCON
Nov 2014 - Nov 2022
RAFCON (RMC advanced flow control) uses hierarchical state machines, featuring concurrent state execution, to represent robot programs. It ships with a graphical user interface supporting the creation of state machines and contains IDE like debugging mechanisms. Alternatively, state machines can programmatically be generated using RAFCON's API.
