General Description

PACPUS is a research platform of the Heudiasyc JRU UTC/CNRS 7253 in the field of Intelligent Vehicles. You can find more details about the equipments and research results directly on the website of PACPUS platform: https://pacpus.hds.utc.fr

To carry out experiments with Intelligent Vehicles or robots, Heudiasyc has developed the PACPUS framework to solve the systems integration issues. The framework is designed around the ​ KISS principle and use ​Component-based software engineering. Developments are done mainly in C++.

PACPUS was developped by engineers, students and researchers of UTC (Université de Technologie de Compiègne) and CNRS

Why PACPUS?

The development of PACPUS started in 2006 and the source code was released as open source in 2013. Very often people ask us why not using ROS in place of PACPUS? Our answer is quite simple, we started the development of PACPUS before that ROS exist and it would be a huge work to leave all our codes only to move to ROS. So we prefer continuing the development of PACPUS and providing gateways to other middleware like ROS, RTMaps,...

PACPUS is not certainly the ultimate rapid prototyping tool but we think you could find useful functionalities that could you save time. If it is the case, don't hesitate to give us feedback to pacpus@…

Some projects that run PACPUS

PAMU project

In collaboration with Renault company, we developped a prototype of autonomous Fluence ZE. The laboratory used the PACPUS framework to develop the localization and perception parts of the project. See the official movie of the project results:
