SERA Ecosystem

Last updated on Jan 23, 2021

The typical SERA setup.

SERA, the Socially Expressive Robotics Architecture, is a SAIBA-based architecture and set of tools and components for creating autonomous socially expressive robots.

It is the result of the creation of various components over the years that are reusable across applications and embodiments using the Thalamus framework.
