GCBASIC is an open-source BASIC compiler for 8 bit Microchip PIC, Atmel AVR legacy, AVRDx and LGT microcontrollers. See https://ko-fi.com/post/The-Story-of-GCBASIC-Making-Microcontroller-Progr-D1D319SJ72 for story of GCBASIC. This is a continuous release project. The latest release is always available. This will give you the most complete development toolchain to create and program 8-bit PIC, AVR and LGT microcontrollers. We have added new capabilities that make GCBASIC the easiest tool set available - supporting over 1400 microcontrollers with tools to make this fun and simple.

Microduck RL provides reinforcement-learning environments for training behaviors for Pollen Robotics' small bipedal Microduck robot. It is built on mjlab with MuJoCo Warp and trains PPO policies at a 50 Hz control rate. The repository includes tasks for walking, standing up, sitting, kicking, rolling, skating, crouching, and other physical behaviors. Its sim-to-real setup models actuator physics, backlash, domain randomization, and reward design. Trained policies can be exported to ONNX and deployed through the separate Microduck runtime. Training normally uses CUDA hardware, while supported workflows can offload jobs to Hugging Face Jobs when a local GPU is unavailable.

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.

oomwoo is an open-source robot vacuum project designed for people who want to build their own home cleaning robot. It combines Raspberry Pi, ROS2, Home Assistant, 2D LiDAR, ESP32, Arduino, and 3D printing into a community-buildable platform. The project aims to avoid vendor lock-in by keeping the hardware, software, and firmware open. It is designed around local control, with no cloud required for regular operation. The roadmap includes autonomous navigation, mapping, a documented 3D-printable chassis, firmware, motor drivers, sensor electronics, and ROS2 packages. The project is still in an early design and RFC stage, so it is best understood as a build-in-public hardware and robotics initiative rather than a finished consumer product.

This repository is now frozen. The latest version of the RepRap project can be found at https://github.com/reprap.

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.

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

Critterding is a "Petri dish" universe in 3D that demonstrates evolving artificial life. Critters start out with completely random brains and bodies, but will automatically start evolving into something with much better survival skills.

A parametric, feature-based, sketch-driven 3D CAD application, built around a geometrical constraint solving engine. Project is in early development stage. The FreeSG library (http://freesg.org/) is required.

PyRobot is a high-level robotics API that simplifies controlling real and simulated robots through a consistent Python interface. Instead of fighting ROS internals, you call clear methods for things like base navigation, arm manipulation, and camera capture, and PyRobot handles the plumbing. It was built to make research repeatable on accessible platforms—most notably low-cost mobile manipulators—while still scaling to richer hardware. The library exposes canonical abstractions (base, arm, gripper, camera, sensors) with calibration and kinematics helpers so beginners can get meaningful results quickly. It also plugs into simulation backends, letting you prototype perception and control algorithms before deploying on physical robots. By standardizing common operations and providing examples, PyRobot reduces boilerplate and encourages best practices in perception-control loops, data collection, and benchmarking.

**MOVED TO GITHUB** ==> https://github.com/MRPT/mrpt The Mobile Robot Programming Toolkit (MRPT) is an extensive, cross-platform, and open source C++ library aimed for robotics researchers to design and implement algorithms about Localization, SLAM, Navigation, computer vision. http://www.mrpt.org/

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/
