Manus is a manipulation robotics framework for educational purposes. It was written as a support software for a course on robotics and computer vision.

The project is still work-in-progress and is evolving. Please report any bugs or feature requests.

The project is built using CMake. Before that a few dependencies have to be installed:

• OpenCV - Computer vision library, packages available in Ubuntu repositories
• EchoLib - a light-weight IPC library
• EchoCV - support for OpenCV structures with EchoLib
• EchoMsg - support for custom messages with EchoLib
• Orocos KDL - Kinematics library, packages available in Ubuntu repositories

If you want to get it running on Ubuntu systems we maintain a PPA repository with all the required packages already compiled.
