...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.

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. ...

...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.

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.

FactoryController testing/verification tool. Simulate MODBUS-TCP industrial network with set of devices. Update 2017: Hardware Emulator project has been integrated to main FactoryController codebase and this repository is obsolete.

iCub is an open platform for scientists interested in investigating issues in embodied cognition. Here you find all the software and hardware documentation.

...Some things we've fixed since 0.1a: Kinect no longer throws an exception upon instantiation, the Watchdog is usable, array elements can now be edited in the gui, and lots of under the hood reimplementation to replace native methods. DISCLAIMER: this is not like the diamond bullet studios simulation, this only simulates how the hardware would act, so that code can be tested. It is not our goal to provide a program that allows simulation for strategy testing, nor will it ever be.

Freelem is an educational robotics project. It uses Arduino as it's main component. Freelem is going to comprise a set of tools for teaching robotics to children and teenagers, including open hardware, software, schematics and teaching material.

A robotic DIY styrofoam cutter consisting of one rotational and two translational axes. It cuts a variety of shapes out of styrofoam-like materials using a hot wire. This project documents the necessary hardware and software parts. Don't miss the follow-up project at http://raumschaum.org Its goal is to further develop hardware and software into an user friendly application.

Open source, cross platform drivers and function library for the NovInt Falcon Haptic Controller. These drivers are not produced by Novint Technologies, Inc. and do not come with any warranty as to their correctness or usage.

The goal of zAutomation project is to design/implement hardware, firmware and software for remote control and monitoring of physical objects, by using the ZigBee technology and internet. The field of application is robotics and domotics.

SimpleNXT is an easy to use library for controlling the LEGO® NXT Robot using the .NET family of programming languages.

IIControl is a library for controlling fischertechnik models via the Intelligent Interface. IIControl is written in Java and provides complete abstraction from the interface and the hassle controling the serial port.

Driver support for 3D Controller Hardware. We hope to support SDL Input, DirectInput, and other major controller API's including game consoles and embedded systems.

Maiden-core is a Linux kernel robotics API module, extensible in Erc. The Maiden Project also documents and develops the Maiden architecture for mobile robots, a set of (optional) designs and standards for robots using the Maiden-core API.

Modular EtherCAT master stack targeting real-time industrial control. Configurable anywhere from a lean-and-mean basic stack to a full-fledged EtherCAT master.

This is a attempt for simple hardware emulator of Celestron's NexStar Telescope mounts. The emulator is based on MCUs like PIC18F2550 from Microchip Technology Inc.

The micro-Ants are small, cheap, 8-bit devices which may outperform current home automation systems, thanks to their "swarm intelligence". This project aims at developing a micro-Ant hardware and firmware. Join and develop with us this new technology!

This is an application that streams data from the Microsoft Kinect or cameras like it over a network. The program is Intended to be used in robotics applications where the controller cannot use such cameras directly due to hardware/software limitations--such as lacking usb ports or appropriate drivers--or in situations where the camera is not in close proximity to the device that needs to access it. Given that the controller can accept data from over the network, another embedded controller that is able to use these kinds of cameras can be loaded with this software to send the image and depth data from the kinect over the network to the other controller. ...
