A simple GUI frontend for the Microchip pk2cmd program written in python. At the minute it only supports writing. I plan to add reading and maintainance (renaming pickit2 devices, updating firmware) features soon.

pyGerber2Gcode is a Pyhon based simple Gerber to G-code converter.

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.

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.

Bender is a project intented to cover a complete UAVs system. The projects consists in three parts: the UAV Embedded software (Bender), the Control station software (Fry) and the communication protocol between UAVs and Control Station

An Open Source IEC 61131-3 Integrated Development Environment, providing PLCOpen SoftPLC programming, CanOpen IO's, and SVG based HMI.

The CMU personal robotics package offers many robotics algorithms/controllers/drivers that enable robots to perform basic tasks like manipulation and vision. The main infrastructure used is OpenRAVE and Robot Operating System (ROS).

The Constrained Manipulation Planning Suite (CoMPS) consists of three openrave plugins and associated data files. The planning and inverse kinematics algorithms in this suite are designed for articulated robots like robotic arms and humanoids. CoMPS is implemented in C++ and compiles in linux only. There are also several examples in python and matlab that show how to interface with openrave to use the plugins in CoMPS. It has been tested on all Ubuntu version from the last few years and will probably work with most modern linux distributions. Please see the wiki for installation and examples: https://sourceforge.net/p/comps/wiki/Home/

A complete set of code to build your own robot for cospace dance using: raspberry pi, arduino, xbee and blender,

The Dragon Fire compiler takes a new, 21st century, look at the Dragon (i.e. Dragon Book). No longer impenetrable to the programmer, this compiler is open and available to them. You control the Dragon, and get Dragon insight into your programs.

This project contains tools, that were created during the work with the Katana robotic manipulator at the workgroup EOS of the University of Magdeburg.

The EP avr-gcc library is a funktion library in C for the Atmel AVR Microcontroller. It has functions for LCD, USART and more.

A cross-platform library that computes fast and accurate SIFT image features. libsiftfast provides Octave/Matlab scripts, a command line interface, and a python interface (siftfastpy). Optimized with SIMD instructions and OpenMP .

HomeRobot is an open source robotics framework developed by Facebook Research (Meta AI) that provides a complete software stack for mobile manipulation in real-world and simulated environments. Designed for low-cost robots such as the Hello Robot Stretch, HomeRobot enables agents to perceive, navigate, and interact with their surroundings through vision and manipulation. The system focuses on Open Vocabulary Mobile Manipulation (OVMM) — a challenging task in which a robot must explore an unknown environment, identify an object by name, locate a suitable receptacle, and place the object appropriately. HomeRobot integrates perception, planning, and control under a unified architecture, supporting AI Habitat for simulation and ROS Noetic for real-world deployment. It provides interfaces for Detic, Grounded-SAM, and Contact-GraspNet, allowing open-vocabulary detection and 3D grasping.

Written in C++, IFI-picloader is a US First Competition Linux port for Innovation First Inc. Robot Controller programmer using a pic 18F8520. It writes MCC18 compiled hex files to PIC and allows users to program under *nix based operating systems.

This project aims to control the KSR10 Robot Arm (Velleman) through USB with the programming language Python. Requirements: - Python (tested with version 2.6 and 2.7) - modules: pyusb (wich on itself requires libusb or openusb)

LightningROS is a ROS package implementing the Lightning Path Planning Framework. The code here was developed for ROS Feurte. For later ROS versions, see https://github.com/WPI-ARC/lightning_ros This approach uses a path library to store previous experience while allowing generality by also planning from scratch. Please see the paper below for more details: A Robot Path Planning Framework that Learns from Experience Dmitry Berenson, Pieter Abbeel, and Ken Goldberg IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), May, 2012. This package uses OMPL planners (http://ompl.kavrakilab.org/) to implement each component in lightning and can be called the same way as any other OMPL planner. The code was developed at UC Berkeley by Cameron Lee and Dmitry Berenson under the supervision of Prof. Pieter Abbeel and Prof. Ken Goldberg. Please see the Wiki for instructions on how to install and use lightning: https://sourceforge.net/p/lightningros/wiki/Home/

LinuxCNC controls CNC machines. It can drive milling machines, lathes, 3d printers, laser cutters, plasma cutters, robot arms, hexapods, and more.

The Massive G Engine is a simple yet feature-rich extensible 3D simulation engine for Robotics Research and gaming.

This project is the software development section for the McGill underwater robotics team. We compete here: http://www.auvsi.org/about/

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.
