| 4 | |
| 5 | 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: pacpus.hds.utc.fr |
| 6 | |
| 7 | 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 [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle | KISS principle]] and use [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component-based_software_engineering | Component-based software engineering]]. Developments are done mainly in C++. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | PACPUS framework is distributed under [http://www.cecill.info CECILL-C license] (equivalent to LGPL) so you can use it to build free and commercial software. You can find also some [[#FreeavailablePACPUSplugins|PACPUS plugins]] developed by the laboratory that you can use freely. |
