Robocode is a programming game, where the goal is to develop a robot battle tank to battle against other tanks with Java. The robot battles are running in real-time and on-screen. The motto of Robocode is: Build the best, destroy the rest!

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.

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.

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.

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/

The Matlab/Octave rotations library is a collection of functions, bundled as m-scripts, that address computations and numerical handling of rotations in 3D Euclidean space. The rotation representations that are supported are rotation matrices (Rotmat), Quaternions (Quat), intrinsic ZYX Euler angles (Euler), fused angles (Fused) and tilt angles (Tilt). Operations such as composition, inversion, ZYX yaw extraction, fused yaw extraction, random generation, equality detection, vector rotation and much more have been implemented for each rotation representation. Tilt vector addition and the relative and absolute tilt phase spaces are also supported. Unit tests for each function are provided to ensure that the library is performant.
