Artoo is a Ruby micro-framework for robotics, drones, and IoT physical computing, providing a DSL for connecting to hardware like Arduino, Sphero, and Parrot AR drones. It is built on Celluloid for actor-based, multi-threaded operation and is a sibling project to Cylon.js and Gobot.
Use cases
- control an arduino led and button with ruby
- program a parrot ar drone to take off and land
- control a swarm of sphero robots
- write robotics code in ruby using firmata
- build iot physical computing projects with a ruby dsl
- connect ruby to robotics hardware adaptors
When to choose
- you want to program robots or drones in Ruby
- you need a simple DSL for physical computing with Arduino or similar boards
- you want actor-based concurrency for controlling multiple robots
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained robotics software with recent hardware support
- you prefer JavaScript or Go, where Cylon.js and Gobot are the successors
- your project requires modern Ruby versions beyond 2.1
