In recent years the robotics community has actively embraced the open paradigm, and research articles are commonly enriched with the inclusion of a source code repository of software. However, the reproducibility of such code is not straightforward, and it may become increasingly difficult with the evolution of software. There is a need for providing not only the source code … [Read more...] about Run to the Source: The Effective Reproducibility of Robotics Code Repositories
