PHPXref is a developers tool, written in Perl, that will cross reference and extract inline documentation from a collection of PHP scripts. It generates simple HTML output suitable for browsing offline.

Critterding is a "Petri dish" universe in 3D that demonstrates evolving artificial life. Critters start out with completely random brains and bodies, but will automatically start evolving into something with much better survival skills.

Gearbox provides a collection of usable peer-reviewed robotics-related libraries. Gearbox is not an integration framework. Rather, it provides a set of implementations, without insisting on a standard API, for use by any number of existing frameworks.

It's a simpler clone of RoboCode. It's a game which simulates tanks war. The focus is artificial intelligence AI, evolutive algorithms and neural networks. It's implemented in Java.

AIL is an AI library that will help you to use algorithms such as A*,DFS and BFS.

This project aims to develop a colour-based vision processing system for use in RoboCup. We are using a CCD camera for input to an FPGA. The system locates coloured objects and outputs detected corners.

‘intelliworm’ is a prototype simulation of a Intelligent Species of a common earth worm,which inherits human like decision making capabilities through Neural Network intelligence representation,all developed by integrating .NET with Lisp and Yacc.

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

An easy to extend, highly graphical, easy to use 2D robot simulator specialized for path planning algorithms. Can be used in testing various robotic algorithms, and already used for comparison of path planning algorithms like RRT, RRTConnect, PRM, RboT..

The below is a list of all files released for the Crossbow's MNAV100CA with SPB400. This framework may provide a complete solution for AHRS, Navigation, WiFi Comm, and Data Logging, for various robotic applications.

The Mars Rover Simulator project is based on the evolutionary robotics paradigm where an artificial agent acquires its skills through the process of artificial evolution. This simulator can be useful to evolve neural network controllers for the rover

A simulation environment for 2D robots to interact and perform tasks in. Meant to be educational and demonstrate emergent behaviors. No download necessary! See demos on project website!

Plantra-Trajectory Planning is a software to rebuild surfaces from cloud points, featuring shaded 3D visualization and path planning for robotics paths. It uses Voronoi diagram, Cyrus-Beck clipping, Delaunay triangulation and B-Splines.

PyVision is a object-oriented Computer Vision Toolkit for researchers that contains vision and machine learning algorithms and algorithm analysis and easily interfaces with scipy/numpy, PIL, opencv and other computer and machine learning libraries.

Depending on a SICK lasescan and a created environment landscape a routing function will be implemented to give a robot a few waypoint to drive from a start point to a choosen destination.

An implementation of Bruhn et al.'s fast variational optical flow algorithm using the OpenCV image processing library. The code calculates dense flow fields with a user-specified level of precision.

Yaobi is a fast collision detection library for general triangulated objects. It uses a hierarchical representation based on oriented bounding boxes. Yaobi compares well with other libraries when it comes to speed and memory consumption.

This project comprises two main parts: 1. The classic "Rodney" as described in David L. Heisermann's book "How to build your own self-programming robot", with the original Intel 8085 code. In all likelihood, this is for reference only. I don't expect many people are going to build it 2. An updated version, running on more modern hardware, but remaining true to the algorithms published in his book. The end result will be at least three sets of code, for the Alpha, Beta and Gamma versions of Rodney. We would also like to experiment with a "Delta" version which could use either bare RF or WiFi to exchange state data between machines. A "hive mind" if you like. For the new-generation version, we propose targeting two hardware platforms: 1. Arduino, since it's cheap and easy to use, while remaining close to the bare metal 2. A purpose-built AVR card, or easily ported to cards obtainable from sources such as futurlec.com, etc. RaspberryPi is also an option later

Todbot is an AI addon to the gamestool virtual machine. The aim is to create an evolving neural network topology that should be capable of creating the optimal topology and network weighting to solve any problem given it.
