URML (open robot intent language): Unity Robotics Hub mapping, plus a maintenance-status check #440

Hi Unity Robotics team,

URML (urml.dev) is a small, Apache-2.0 language for describing robot intent: English sentence -> typed primitive -> static validation against a capability manifest and a safety envelope -> dispatch. URML composes above the simulator: validated intent -> ROS-TCP-Connector -> a Unity-simulated robot, with the URDF Importer aligning the robot model to URML's capability manifest.

Before anything else, an honest question: the repo's last push is from late 2024, so I want to check whether Unity Robotics Hub is still maintained and whether this is the right venue, or whether the project has moved. A clear "unmaintained" is a useful answer too.

If it is live: nothing here asks you to change or maintain anything. The one real mapping question is whether ROS-TCP-Connector is the boundary you would expect for "URML primitive -> Unity robot", and at what grain the URDF Importer's output should align with a capability manifest.

Full write-up, with the manifest mapping table: https://github.com/URML-MARS/URML/blob/main/docs/rfcs/0326-unity-robotics-hub-outreach.md

One small thing: the GitHub API did not surface an SPDX license id at our verification time. What is the current license?

Thanks for the ROS-TCP and URDF Importer tooling; it shaped how a lot of people bridge Unity and ROS.
