Dummy-Robot is an open source robotics project by Peng Zhihui that showcases the design and implementation of a compact robotic arm . The repository contains full hardware design files, firmware, control software, and 3D models. It includes components such as a gripper, LED light ring PCB, wireless spatial positioning controller, and a portable case. The project demonstrates advanced engineering with stepper motor drivers, custom controllers, and debugging tools. While the original version is CNC-machined, a simplified 3D-printable "youth edition" is planned to lower costs. This project serves as both an educational resource and a demonstration of innovative DIY robotics.

MARIE is a robotic development and integration environment focused on software reusability and exploitation of already available APIs and middlewares used in robotics. Its main purpose is to create a rapid-prototyping approach to robotics developments.

Welcome to the open branch of the Robotics Lab research group @ Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M). We currently host 3 main projects here: * ASIBOT open source software, which includes basic simulation, control and vision: http://roboticslab.sourceforge.net/asibot * Datasets we use for machine learning: https://sourceforge.net/projects/roboticslab/files/Datasets * Nicolas Burrus' RGBDemo stuff.

C and C++ library for the NIBObee, NIBO burger and NIBO 2 robots. The library contains libraries for AVR Studio and Arduino developement, USB drivers and the RoboDude programming software.

NVIDIA Isaac‑GR00T N1.5 is an open-source foundation model engineered for generalized humanoid robot reasoning and manipulation skills. It accepts multimodal inputs—such as language and images—and uses a diffusion transformer architecture built upon vision-language encoders, enabling adaptive robot behaviors across diverse environments. It is designed to be customizable via post-training with real or synthetic data. The vision-language model remains frozen during both pretraining and finetuning, preserving language understanding and improving generalization. Streamlined MLP connection between vision encoder and LLM with added layer normalization.

The Integrating Vision Toolkit (IVT) is a powerful and fast C++ computer vision library with an easy-to-use object-oriented architecture. It offers its own multi-platform GUI toolkit. OpenCV is integrated optionally. Website: http://ivt.sourceforge.net

openPOWERLINK is an Open Source Industrial Ethernet stack for communication in hard real-time. It can be operated as both, Managing Node (master) and Controlled Node (slave). With version 2.0, the source code has been cleanly split into an application-oriented user library and a time-critical stack driver. The latter may be moved to a dedicated communication processor or into a kernel module to deliver enhanced performance while still keeping the API in user space. A full documentation of the stack is available on the web site: http://openpowerlink.sourceforge.net The following page can be used to report a security vulnerability: https://sourceforge.net/p/openpowerlink/discussion/

Spark is a physical simulation system. The primary purpose of this system is to provide a *generic* simulator for different kinds of simulations. In these simulations, agents can participate as external processes.
