Recent years have seen a growing interest for the neurorobotics field, a new interdisciplinary research topic that aims at studying neuro-inspired approaches in robotics and at developing innovative human–machine interfaces. However, in most cases, evidence of interactions between robotics and neuroscience is currently scarce and the latest advances in both fields are often mutually neglected. One of the reasons for this limitation could be due to the lack of a common research framework that

... facilitate the integration of these two technologies. In this scenario, we propose ROS-Neuro, an open-source middleware based on ROS, that aims at overcoming the aforementioned limitations and at providing a common development ecosystem for neuro-driven robotic applications.
