-CRAM is a toolbox for designing, implementing and deploying +
-software on autonomous robots. The framework provides various +
-tools and libraries for aiding in robot software development as +
-well as geometric reasoning and fast simulation mechanisms to +
-develop cognition-enabled control programs that achieve high levels of robot autonomy. CRAM also provides tools +
-for introspection that enable the robots to reason about their past +
-executions and improve by autonomously optimizing their plans. +

-CRAM is a software toolbox for the design, implementation and deployment of cognition-enabled plan execution on autonomous robots. CRAM equips autonomous robots with lightweight reasoning mechanisms that can infer control decisions rather than requiring the decisions to be preprogrammed. This way CRAM-programmed autonomous robots are more flexible and general than control programs that lack such cognitive capabilities. CRAM does not require the whole reasoning domain to be stated explicitly in an abstract knowledge base. Rather, it grounds symbolic expressions into the perception and actuation routines and into the essential data structures of the control plans. +
- +
-CRAM's domain-specific reactive concurrent language is based on the idea of [[ftp://ftp.cs.yale.edu/pub/technical-reports/tr864.ps.gz|RPL (Robot Plan Language) of Drew McDermott]].  +

- +
-The core packages of CRAM are implemented in Common Lisp (with a little bit of C/C++) with support to the ROS middleware infrastructure. +
