This paper presents a novel open-source software application, Aquila, developed as a part of the ITALK and RobotDoC projects. The software provides many different tools and biologically-inspired models, useful for cognitive and developmental robotics research. Aquila addresses the need for high-performance robot control by adopting the latest parallel processing paradigm, based on the NVidia CUDA technology. The software philosophy, implementation, functionalities and performance are described
