Abstract :
The paper describes a software architecture aimed at rapid development and testing of code for mobile robotics applications. The architecture is based on player/stage and allows to integrate in a single environment varieties of heterogeneous mobile platforms and varieties of localization and navigation algorithms. The paper describes the proposed architecture and its usage to develop some relevant applications
