The Player Project (formerly Player/Stage Project) creates free and open-source software for research into robotics and sensor systems.[1] Its components include the Player network server and the Stage platform robotics simulators. Although accurate statistics are hard to obtain, Player is one of the most popular open-source robot interfaces in research and post-secondary education.[2]
