Welcome to the Documentation of RISE!

The open-source architecture RISE (A Robotics Integration and Scenario-Management Extensible-Architecture) is a tool for researcher that want to create Human-Robot-Interaction (HRI) scenarios. RISE offers the possibility to connect initially with the robots Nao, Pepper and is extensible for the use of own robots with custom actions (e.g. the agent Floka)!

The software is developed within the Transregional Collaborative Research Centre “Constructing Explainability” (TRR 318) and is used for internal projects as well as in coorperation with partners. The main focus of the system is to support the work in interdisciplinary teams and to enable also non-computer scientists to create, discuss and understand behaviors of robots in HRI.

Hint: This documentation and also the source-code (Gitlab: RISE-Project) of this project is under development mainly by (PhD) students and research assistants. The system and its documentation exhibit a continuous state of development and change.
