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.

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.

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

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.

**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/

FREESECS is an open-source project for SEMI SECS standards. The software is compiled with GNU autotools/GCC and runs on Linux, MacOS X, NetBSD. See http://opensecs.sourceforge.net

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.

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/

MATLABRobotics is a collection of robotics-related algorithms and simulation tools implemented in MATLAB. The repository brings together a wide range of robotics functionality, including path planning, control, localization, and mapping. It provides practical algorithmic implementations such as A*, RRT, Kalman filters, particle filters, and SLAM, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and developers learning or prototyping robotics applications. The code is written to be accessible and easy to adapt, enabling experimentation with both classical and modern robotics techniques. By using MATLAB’s visualization and numerical capabilities, the repository offers intuitive demonstrations of algorithms in action. As an open resource, it encourages contributions and serves as a foundation for building and testing robotics concepts in simulation.

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.
