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.

A 3D robots simulator written in python. Uses ODE physics and OpenGL/Inventor graphics. A differential wheels robot is provided. There is no user interface but the code is small and is intended to be easily extended for your simulations.

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.

A python-tkinter kit to experiment with the generation and solving of mazes.

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

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.

Dummy-Robot is an open source robotics project by Peng Zhihui that showcases the design and implementation of a compact robotic arm . The repository contains full hardware design files, firmware, control software, and 3D models. It includes components such as a gripper, LED light ring PCB, wireless spatial positioning controller, and a portable case. The project demonstrates advanced engineering with stepper motor drivers, custom controllers, and debugging tools. While the original version is CNC-machined, a simplified 3D-printable "youth edition" is planned to lower costs. This project serves as both an educational resource and a demonstration of innovative DIY robotics.

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

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)

NVIDIA Isaac Sim is a high-fidelity robotics simulation platform built on NVIDIA Omniverse to develop, test, and validate AI-driven robots in physically accurate virtual environments. It supports a wide array of robotics formats (URDF, MJCF, CAD), includes GPU-accelerated physics, and features immersive RTX rendering and multisensory simulation. Realistic physics via GPU-accelerated engines and RTX ray tracing. Multi-sensor simulation (RGB-D cameras, Lidar, Radar, IMU, contact sensors). Extensible via platform APIs and can integrate into custom USD-based simulators.

A platform independent framework to remote control Lego Mindstorms NXT from Python. Using PyBluez http://org.csail.mit.edu/pybluez/ for Bluetooth connectivity and wxPython http://www.wxpython.org/ for UI.

Simulator of virtual animals made up of biological neural networks for research in the Computational Neuroscience field.

Open X-Embodiment is a large-scale collaborative initiative led by Google DeepMind to unify robotic learning datasets into a consistent and standardized format, simplifying access and usage across the robotics research community. Its primary goal is to make all available open-source robotic data interoperable by representing them using the RLDS (Reinforcement Learning Dataset Structure) episode format. This enables seamless integration for training, evaluation, and model development across diverse robotic tasks and embodiments. The dataset aggregates contributions from multiple open-source robotic projects, all harmonized under a single unified data schema. The repository also provides Colab notebooks for dataset visualization, batching, and model inference, along with pretrained model checkpoints such as RT-1-X, a multitask robotic transformer model trained on this data.

Autononous mobile robot programming environment for Robotino.

PyMbs has moved to Bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/pymbs/pymbs PyMbs is a Python library for modelling holonomic multibody systems. It is able to generate simulation code for Python, Modelica and Matlab.

PyRobot is a high-level robotics API that simplifies controlling real and simulated robots through a consistent Python interface. Instead of fighting ROS internals, you call clear methods for things like base navigation, arm manipulation, and camera capture, and PyRobot handles the plumbing. It was built to make research repeatable on accessible platforms—most notably low-cost mobile manipulators—while still scaling to richer hardware. The library exposes canonical abstractions (base, arm, gripper, camera, sensors) with calibration and kinematics helpers so beginners can get meaningful results quickly. It also plugs into simulation backends, letting you prototype perception and control algorithms before deploying on physical robots. By standardizing common operations and providing examples, PyRobot reduces boilerplate and encourages best practices in perception-control loops, data collection, and benchmarking.
