Open Source Home Automation Software

OpenBot leverages smartphones as brains for low-cost robots. We have designed a small electric vehicle that costs about $50 and serves as a robot body. Our software stack for Android smartphones supports advanced robotics workloads such as person following and real-time autonomous navigation. Current robots are either expensive or make significant compromises on sensory richness, computational power, and communication capabilities. We propose to leverage smartphones to equip robots with extensive sensor suites, powerful computational abilities, state-of-the-art communication channels, and access to a thriving software ecosystem. We design a small electric vehicle that costs $50 and serves as a robot body for standard Android smartphones. We develop a software stack that allows smartphones to use this body for mobile operation and demonstrate that the system is sufficiently powerful to support advanced robotics workloads such as person following and real-time autonomous navigation.

ATMEL ATMega1280 based powerful, multifunctional, reliable, expandable and extremely flexible hardware platform for home and industrial processes automation, robotic toys, security systems, education and enjoyment.

An application to control remotely a Quadcopter throught a Raspberry Pi. The goal is to be able to command and view what is in front of the quadcopter with a camera. This is allready working using a python Webserver and streaming video from Raspberry Camera. You can play also without camera support from command line with remote access.

Weekend-robotics enables the dedicated amateur to build a autonomous robot. It runs on a Linux system for high-level operations and offers an interface to the defacto standard hardware abstraction layer in robotics, Player/Stage.

Upload, save and run keystroke injections remotely with an ESP8266 + ATmega32u4. Using a USB device that act as a keyboard to inject keystrokes is well known these days. The USB Rubber Ducky by Hak5 is THE hacker gadget for this kind of attack. It introduced a simple script language called Ducky Script, which this project uses too. The ESP8266 is a popular Wi-Fi chip used in a lot of projects. Because it's cheap, small, and has its own file system (SPIFFS), it's perfect for enabling an easy remote connection and holding Ducky Script payloads. Although the ESP8266 is awesome, it doesn't have a native USB, which means it can't act as a keyboard. The ESP will open up a Wi-Fi access point and host a web interface from which you can upload and manage your scripts. When you hit run, it will send the script to the ATmega, which then will execute it on the target machine.

libEPOS is a C library to control the EPOS motor control from maxon motor ( http://www.maxonmotor.com ) using a GNU/Linux system. This software is NOT from maxon motor, but was written from scratch by Marcus Hauser and others. The tar file is outdate
