I would like to announce that we have just released a new version of Aquila, which has several new features such as new vision filters and transforms, GPU face and template tracking integrated with The Gaze Interface, new object recognition system for the MTRNN module, ERA (Epigenetic Robotic Architecture) module and more.
This is the last release of Aquila as a standalone toolkit encapsulating all modules. We are starting to work on a completely new design for Aquila 2.0. Please see this presentation and send me any feedback you might have.
Aquila can be downloaded from iCub and the SourceForge repository that we use for the development. The latest updates are always on Aquila's FaceBook page, click here to explore it.
