Basis is a production-focused robotics development framework by Basis Robotics, built on a pub-sub architecture designed for deterministic testing. Unlike ROS and similar frameworks, Basis abstracts publishers and subscribers from the developer, using a model of Inputs + Conditions (synchronizer) -> Handler (your code) -> Outputs. You declare the messages and conditions that your code responds to, allowing the framework to automatically manage all underlying publishers, subscribers, and message routing as inputs and conditions trigger your code to process data and produce outputs.
