RAFCON
======

**Develop your robotic tasks using an intuitive graphical user interface**

RAFCON (**R**\ MC **a**\ dvanced **F**\ low **Con**\ trol) uses hierarchical state machines, featuring
concurrent state execution, to represent robot programs. It ships with a graphical user interface supporting the
creation of state machines and contains IDE like debugging mechanisms. Alternatively, state machines can
programmatically be generated using RAFCON's API.

RAFCON is licensed under the `Eclipse Public License - v 1.0 (EPL) <http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html>`__.
