Xronos

Xronos is a lightweight framework for building deterministic, component-based robotics applications in Python or C++. It supports real-time telemetry, system visualization, and modular design with a focus on clarity, scalability, and correctness.

Features

• 🦾 Turnkey Telemetry: Built-in support for monitoring, tracing, and timing.
• ⚙️ Modern APIs: Intuitive and consistent interfaces in both Python and C++.
• 🪶 Lightweight: 20MB pip install; no OS version lock-in.
• 🧩 Modular Architecture: Component-based design for separation of concerns.
• ⏱️ Deterministic Concurrency: Reactor-based execution model guarantees predictable behavior.
• 🧠 Automatic System Visualization: Architecture diagrams generated from code.

Usage

For Python users, the xronos PyPi package is published as a standalone Python package. Building from source is not required.
