The AIRO team is continuously developing software. These efforts resulted in the AIRO-mono repo which provides ready-to-use Python packages to accelerate the development of robotic manipulation systems. The motivation behind the repository was to accelerate experimentation (and hence to start quickly with the hands-on aspects of our courses and research projects). Additionally, it promotes a shared foundation of well-tested code across the IDLab AI & Robotics Lab, boosting reliability and efficiency and promoting best practices along the way.
