Open Source Robotics Software

A useful tool for viewing, recording and replaying URG sensor data. The sensor is made by Hokuyo CO.,LTD.

Multi-platform tools and information for programming and controlling LEGO MINDSTORMS programmable bricks, such as the NXT, via USB and Bluetooth.

Firmware for robots made using OpenWRT router and open-robotics.ru hardware

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.

A controller program with flexibility to create custom control system. Some of the features included are internet protocols TCP and UDP, serial port, joystick/gamepad, keyboard, camera, etc. Initially intended to be used in electronics projects where serial communication is common but extended to do common tasks like web browsing, music listening, application opening with custom keyboard shortcuts or text commands. The program is still at alpha stage so updated frequently with various bug fixes and interface changes. It is recommended to keep the program up to date.

Free operating system for biorobots. If you biorobot, you can download an installation image of our OS is directly from here...

An architecture development environment for distributed agent architectures for virtual and robotic agents with focus on human-robot interaction

Lens is the light, efficient network simulator, written by Doug Rohde. LensOSX is a native MacOSX port of Lens that runs on MacOSX 10.5 or higher, created by Harm Brouwer, Daniel de Kok and Hartmut Fitz.

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.

A program to control every aspect of the Mindstorms NXT. Written in FreeBasic.

Connect, monitor and control your systems or embedded devices remotely (m2m/IoT) - for example your Raspberry Pi. The communication interface is defined in XML automatically providing a REST interface. NexusDataLink integrates smoothly in existing software or firmware and significantly reduces connection- or communication-related source code.

SCS is a smart car simulator. It build a virtual envirement according to the rules of the National University "The Freescale Cup" Smart Car Racing. SCS simulate the track and the car. SCS is based on ODE and OpenGL.

Understanding the mechanism of intelligence in human beings and animals is one of the most important approaches to developing intelligent robot systems. Since the mechanisms of such real-life intelligent systems are so complex, such as the physical interactions between agents and their environment and the social interactions between agents, comprehension and knowledge in many peripheral fields such as cognitive science, developmental psychology, brain science, evolutionary biology, and robotics. Therefore, we have been developing a simulator environment called SIGVerse, which is a simulator that combines dynamics, perception, and communication simulations for synthetic approaches to research into the genesis of social intelligence. In this paper, we introduce SIGVerse, its example application and perspectives.

Servo-Trim uses an Atmel ATtiny2313 microcontroller to apply a nonlinear transfer function to standard RC-component signals. Used e.g. between receiver and servo.

Videod efficiently provides live or recorded video streams to one or multiple local clients for processing. It is released under the CeCILL-C license (see http://www.cecill.info/index.en.html), a French equivalent of the GNU LGPL.

application that change your face in to a smarter one. :P example using opencv only for educational purpouses

This project provides a Java API to access ELV's (http://www.elv.de) "Dual USB Stepmotor Interface" (USI2). The communication with the USI2 is based on the FTD2xxj (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ftd2xxj) framework.

The software contains a set of algorithms to control the mobile robot called volksbot. Wiki: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/openvolksbot/index.php?title=Main_Page

Quaternion Cubic Spline by James McEnnan Qspline does quaternion interpolation such that the quaternion and angular rate and acceleration vectors are continuous functions of time, while maintaining quaternion normalization. This project releases the core functions (in qspline.c) under the CC0 license (Public Domain). The original project can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qspline/ The documentation can be found in the original project here: http://qspline.sourceforge.net/qspline.pdf

In Portugal every year there is place the Robotics National Festival. One competition is the "Conducao Autonoma"(Autonomous Driving). This simulator plans to be a framework that could be used to test and development the vision and controll algoritms
