Open Source C Robotics Software

What is it? It's a Bootloader for Microchip, Atmel, NXP, TI and 8051 devices. A Bootloader is a firmware running in the microcontroler device which allows the user to send it's own firmware without the need of a programmer. This Bootloader consists of: - firmwares for many devices (this firmware need to be send to the device's flash memory with a programmer, only once) - a PC software which communicates with the bootloader firmware in the device and send the user's program in its memory Where does it come from? This Bootloader is based on "Tiny PIC Bootloader" made by Claudiu Chiculita. A special THANK to him!!! What can it do? It can program: - Microchip PIC10/12/16/18/24/32/dsPIC30/33 - Atmel ATtiny, ATmega - TI MPS430 - NXP ARM Cortex-M0+ - Silicon Labs C8051 And this: - with light modifications to the Bootloader firmware for new devices - without modifying your source code or using a special linker script - via GUI or command line prog - with automatic Reset

The Player Project: Player is a networked interface to robots and sensors. Stage and Gazebo are Player-friendly multiple-robot simulators. The software aims for POSIX compliance and runs on most UNIX-like OS's. Some parts also work on Windows.

A series of open source files and programs available to use for developing programs to work with the WowWee Robotics RSMedia Robot. These include a USB serial console, a cross-compiler, a firmware dump program, text-to-speech and source code.

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.

PMC is an open project that aims to build the quality permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) controller for use in a variety of scopes like RC or electric transport.

YARP, Yet Another Robot Platform. Always dreamt of controlling a humanoid robot? ...well, we do that. A C++ library for IPC, vision and control. This project was migrated to GitHub: https://github.com/robotology/yarp

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.

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

Workbook for robot enthusiasts and educators.

MIARN(Modules for Intelligent Autonomous Robot Navigation) is a project of robotics perception and interaction. We provide a gui for controlling and visualizing playerstage.sf.net sensors and opencv algorithms

nxtOSEK is an RTOS for LEGO Mindstorms NXT. nxtOSEK consists of I/O driver part of LEJOS NXJ, TOPPERS/ATK1 RTOS, and glue code for them. You can write applications for NXT in ANSI-C/C++. Check nxtOSEK site: http://lejos-osek.sourceforge.net

It's an object-oriented library written in C++ for creating arbitrary kind of neural networks. The user can use the classes provided to create neural network with arbitrary topology and mixed type of neurons. It's very easy add custom neurons.

Geeks Artificial Neural Network (G.A.N.N) is an open source project that started with the philosophy of being a new more advanced A.N.N that works as a platform for other applications. In other words, G.A.N.N should be considered as a "Black Box".

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.

This project has been moved to http://pros.cs.purdue.edu/ PROS is a lightweight and fast alternative operating system for the VEX Cortex Microcontroller. It features multitasking, low-level control, and Wiring compatible functions to harness the full power of the Cortex. With a real-time kernel based on FreeRTOS and a development environment built on Eclipse CDT, PROS uses proven software to increase the reliability and usability of the VEX development system across all three major computing platforms. PROS is currently under active development to make it usable for VEX high school and middle school teams. PROS is intended for advanced VEX users seeking to move beyond competing environments. Eclipse and FreeRTOS have their own licensing agreements. Please see http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html and http://www.freertos.org/a00114.html for details.

MERP is a modular low cost robot platform designed as a research tool or for personal use. It allows real world testing of algorithms developed in simulation for trajectory planning, obstacle avoidance, human robot interaction, among others.

PROJECT HAS MOVED! ROS is now hosted at https://code.ros.org/gf/project/ros/

This project introduces sample programs of the URG library. Applications using URG and URG library are also introduced here. URG is Scanning Laser Range Finder of Hokuyo Automatic Co., for robots, autonomous systems and security systems.

To develop a light weight simulator for simulating the motion of different type of robots in different environments. This project involves an OpenGL based 3D simulator for a WANET.

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.

AVRCNC is a CNC-Controller based on an ATMega8 and some other (cheap) hardware. Main advantages compared to L297+L298 are: - simpler to build - easier to expand - mega8 controlls motors directly - no time-critical tasks on PC

This project provides an inexpensive solution to 802.11g wireless communication using off the shelf hardware and open source technologies. This uses the Atmel AT90USB micro and the ZyDas ZD1211B wireless chipset. Developed by David Garske of Wibotics.com

Br-Gogo is a Brazilian open-source version of the Gogo Board project. Developed by CTI, a Brazilian research center. **<div class="sf-root" data-id="250926" data-badge="oss-users-love-us-white" style="width:125px"> <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/br-gogo/" target="_blank">Br-Gogo</a> </div>**
