Have anyone tried using RoboRealm for TurtleBot? From their website it is not clear whether RoboRealm is compatible with ROS or not. Also how does it compare with OpenCV and does it worth buying? Any opinions are welcome.
I have used RoboRealm with a Windows XP set up. It is more Windows friendly and may not work on a Linux Distribution. Also, in my opinion you can get most of the functionality of RoboRealm using various packages at ROS, so I will suggest that it may not be worth a buy. However, if you want to get some basic idea of robot vision in the Windows environment then it may be worth a try, it is a good software just that ROS is much better !
Also, consider having a look here, http://answers.ros.org/question/10379/how-can-i-use-roborealm-software-vision-for-machines-in-ros/.
@Chik - I used RoboRealm before switching to OpenCV/ROS and I think it is a fantastic piece of software. It not only has a ton of vision modules, it also has plugins for many robot controllers. If you can use Windows and need to get a robot up and running ASAP, it would be my first choice.
@Chik - RoboRealm does not run natively under Ubuntu or Linux in general. However, some people have made it work to varying degrees using Wine (Windows emulator for Linux). See http://www.roborealm.com/forum.php?q=ubuntu&page=0.
