Release Date: 5/15/2015
Overview
Baxter Research Robot SDK 1.1.1 is focused mainly adding fixes to further stabilize the SDK (both on robot and on the development workstation) with ROS Indigo. ROS Indigo was released by OSRF in July of 2014, and is the first Long Term Support release for the platform.
