Open Source C Robotics Software

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.

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.

Workbook for robot enthusiasts and educators.

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

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.

Arduino2Lego is a project developed at the Politecnico of Milan by a Computer Science Engineering student. It aims to make all Lego NXT peripherals (motors, sensors,...) easily usable from Arduino.

The goal is an Ascom driver for parallel port connected, telescope controlling stepper motors.

Arduino al/az mount controller based on lx200 protocol.

Programs for MFS Foxes FTC Team 110 for the 2010-11 season.

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

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>**

Brainbot is a general purpose robotics research platform, with an onboard PC. Brainbot's development was funded by the Brain Engineering Lab, the Neukom Institute, and HUV, Inc.

Custom uav is a complete flight control system in development. The project includes everything required for unmanned flight.

A small camera server providing web access to cameras connected to the computer. Special interest in this project is to have little to no external dependencies (no socket libs, no threading libs - at most, maybe camera drivers).

The CoreBots library is a set of components for robots. The library adresses the command and control layer, and the localization and mapping problem. It is intended to run on the CoreBots at Ecole des Mines and/or on the WifiBots.

Embedded uC software for a CrazyCar (see crazycar.fhbb.ch). This project generates code for various microcontrollers e.g. 8051, AVR, Fujitsu.

Software for the autonomous robot GATTACA (alias CrossTiger). C-Code for low level control on Atmega328p. JAVA-Code for remote control panels and online/offline data visualization.

Fork of the gigapan firmware project for the gigapan beta units. Adds new features to the original firmware and largely cleans up the code to allow new features to be build.

The Heliostat project aim is to develop a low cost device for tracking the sun, capable of aiming at multiple targets, and based on the Arduino MCU platform. Off the shelf parts such as satellite dish actuators and other easy to find parts are used.

Joshua chess robot: a stepper motor robot interfaced with a photosensible board to play chess with an embedded artificial intelligence, a game database or and internet player. Software, robot photos, tech papers, schematics and cabling included. Enjo

Just a bunch of awesome algorithms. Includes reactive path planning, high-level path planning and exploration algorithms. Software implemented using the Player Robot Server.

A library set to provide easy control of a joystick or gamepad attached to a Linux system through a simple API

The MCLA Robotics project comprises a Java based platform for robotics application development. It is being developed by the physics department at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in North Adams, Massachusetts.

The SPHERES simulation is designed to support most software-related aspects of single- and multi-satellite SPHERES operations. The simulation code base consists of simulated versions of most of the SPHERES core flight code and additional code that simulates dynamics, communications, and other environmental interaction. The simulation is particularly valuable during the early stages of algorithm development and implementation as an aid in accelerating the learning curve for any Guest Scientist for SPHERES. Algorithms may be implemented in C or Embedded MATLAB and executed in the MATLAB simulation environment to verify general desired behavior. With some limitations, the code used in the simulation can be directly transferred to the SPHERES hardware. We are sharing this project with the public to gather more interest for SPHERES Guest Scientists. Feel free to use and contribute to this code base, just don't forget to credit the MIT Space Systems Lab if you distribute any results.
