NVIDIA Isaac Sim is a high-fidelity robotics simulation platform built on NVIDIA Omniverse to develop, test, and validate AI-driven robots in physically accurate virtual environments. It supports a wide array of robotics formats (URDF, MJCF, CAD), includes GPU-accelerated physics, and features immersive RTX rendering and multisensory simulation. Realistic physics via GPU-accelerated engines and RTX ray tracing. Multi-sensor simulation (RGB-D cameras, Lidar, Radar, IMU, contact sensors). Extensible via platform APIs and can integrate into custom USD-based simulators.

Open X-Embodiment is a large-scale collaborative initiative led by Google DeepMind to unify robotic learning datasets into a consistent and standardized format, simplifying access and usage across the robotics research community. Its primary goal is to make all available open-source robotic data interoperable by representing them using the RLDS (Reinforcement Learning Dataset Structure) episode format. This enables seamless integration for training, evaluation, and model development across diverse robotic tasks and embodiments. The dataset aggregates contributions from multiple open-source robotic projects, all harmonized under a single unified data schema. The repository also provides Colab notebooks for dataset visualization, batching, and model inference, along with pretrained model checkpoints such as RT-1-X, a multitask robotic transformer model trained on this data.

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.

Isaac Lab is an open-source modular robotics learning framework built atop Isaac Sim. It simplifies research workflows across reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and motion planning by offering robust, GPU-accelerated simulation with realistic sensor and physics fidelity—ideal for sim-to-real robot training. Compatible and optimized for use with Isaac Sim versions (e.g., Sim 5.0 and 4.5). GPU-accelerated, high-fidelity physics and sensor simulation suitable for complex learning tasks. Offers a variety of robotic environment simulations on both Linux and Windows.

This is a sophisticated & integrated simulation and analysis environment for dynamical systems models of physical systems (ODEs, DAEs, maps, and hybrid systems). It supports symbolic math, optimization, continuation, data analysis, biological apps...

UfakPython is a small subset of Python programming language, for small embedded devices, like PICs. UfakPython sources are translated to C by UfakPython Compiler. Small Device C Compiler can then compile the C outputs to the target device's codes.

Package to interface and control an Astromech Droid (Star Wars' R2-D2 and friends) replica using Willow Garage's ROS Robot Operating System. Please visit http://astromech.net for info on Astromech replicas and ros.org for info on the ROS system.

This project is a part of a mini project required by the Mechatronics-2 course for the 4th year Mechatronics class in faculty of engineering Ainshams university. The mini project involves the control of an articulated robotic arm which resembles a human arm. The control is done via tele-manipulation which is done by the tracking of 4 IR LEDs fixed at the joints of the controller arm. This code is the part of the project responsible for the interfacing with the wiimote, stereo-triangulation of the wiimote data and determining the 3D coordinates of the IR LEDs.
