+EasyNav Software
+################
+
+The EasyNav software is developed under the `EasyNavigation GitHub organization <https://github.com/EasyNavigation>`_, and it follows a **highly modular structure**. This modularity is reflected in the separation of functionality across multiple repositories, each dedicated to a specific role or typology:
+
+Core
+----
+
+- `EasyNavigation <https://github.com/EasyNavigation/EasyNavigation>`_  
+  This is the main repository that contains the core infrastructure of EasyNav, including the lifecycle management, execution engine, and common interfaces.
+
+Plugins
+-------
+
+- `easynav_plugins <https://github.com/EasyNavigation/easynav_plugins>`_  
+  A collection of lightweight plugins that do not depend on external libraries. It includes generic implementations for controllers, planners, localizers, etc.
+
+Stacks
+------
+
+Stacks are collections of plugins that typically share a common representation of the environment and often rely on specific third-party libraries.
+
+- `easynav_simple_stack <https://github.com/EasyNavigation/easynav_simple_stack>`_  
+  Plugins based on 2D gridmaps representing free (0) and occupied (1) cells. Designed to serve as an introduction to EasyNav and to validate the core system.
+
+- `easynav_gridmap_stack <https://github.com/EasyNavigation/easynav_gridmap_stack>`_  
+  Plugins that use the `GridMap <https://github.com/ANYbotics/grid_map>`_ library to support elevation maps and metric layers.
+
+- `easynav_octomap_stack <https://github.com/EasyNavigation/easynav_octomap_stack>`_  
+  Plugins that rely on the `OctoMap <https://github.com/OctoMap>`_ library for 3D occupancy mapping.
+
+- `easynav_pointcloud_stack <https://github.com/EasyNavigation/easynav_pointcloud_stack>`_  
+  Plugins that use the `PCL (Point Cloud Library) <https://pointclouds.org/>`_ to process and interpret point cloud data.
+
+Test Cases
+----------
+
+These repositories provide maps and configuration files tailored to common application scenarios:
+
+- `easynav_indoor_testcase <https://github.com/EasyNavigation/easynav_indoor_testcase>`_  
+  Contains test environments for indoor navigation with flat 2D maps.
+
+- `easynav_outdoor_testcase <https://github.com/EasyNavigation/easynav_outdoor_testcase>`_  
+  Focused on outdoor scenarios involving uneven terrain and unstructured environments.
+
+Playgrounds
+-----------
+
+Playgrounds define simulation setups for specific robot platforms in various environments.
+
+- `easynav_playground_kobuki <https://github.com/EasyNavigation/easynav_playground_kobuki>`_  
+  Simulation models and example scenarios for the Turtlebot2 (Kobuki) robot.
+
+- `easynav_playground_summit <https://github.com/EasyNavigation/easynav_playground_summit>`_  
+  Simulation of the SUMMIT XL robot from Robotnik, designed for both indoor and outdoor navigation tasks.
