Open Source Python Robotics Software for Linux

PROJECT HAS MOVED! ROS is now hosted at https://code.ros.org/gf/project/ros/

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>**

UfakPython is a small subset of Python programming language, for small embedded devices, like PICs. UfakPython sources are translated to C by UfakPython Compiler. Small Device C Compiler can then compile the C outputs to the target device's codes.

An open-source Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

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.

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.

NOTE: We have moved to bitbucket, the code here is not maintained anymore https://bitbucket.org/makokal/openprm/overview

NOTE: We have moved the project to https://bitbucket.org/makokal/openprm/overview, all the code that is still in sf is not maintained anymore. please use the new code at the location given

PyAlfa includes both a library and an user interface to control the "Alfa Educational Robotics Kit" made by PNCA (http://www.pnca.com.br). It is not official and the protocol was obtained via reverse engineering.

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.

Developed on Python to leverage state-of-the-art extensibility and easily integrated plugins Able to use low cost robots with the accuracy and dexterity of much more expensive robots, achieved in part by: a) Ability to drive movement by inexpensive DC gear head motors, including the inherent ability to specify movement by applied force rather than strict space/time control that steppers impose. b) Arms and linkages don't have to have super tight tolerances, because accuracy is achieved by tightly integrated visual feedback that's easy to program and low complexity processing. Ability to program easily with a GUI and visual interface that sees things from the robots' camera perspective. Flexible use of coordinate spaces that make programming arms with 6 or more degrees of freedom super easy. Got a bot arm with 13 linkages that can reach around corners? Easy. Simple arm with only 2 degrees of freedom, with one polar and one cartesian? Any arm geometry works.

Various projects focusing on, but not limited to, Python, robotics and microcontrollers.

Applications contributed for URBI (Universal RealTime Behoavior Interface). URBI is a scripted command language used to control robots (AIBO pioneer..) as well as a robot-independant execution and developpement plateform. www.urbiforge.com www.gostai.com

The WU personal robotics package is a collection of robotics middleware developed by WashU faculty, students, and staff.

A 2D robotic simulation built on top of the Box2D physics engine. The goal is to make the code ridiculously easy to understand and extend.

Dockserver-talk is a python module that provides an easy way to build custom clients that communicate with Teledyne Webb Research's dockserver software, used to control "Slocum" underwater gliders. The package comes with two applications built on top of dockserverTalk: BUGS: a program to monitor and display the position of gliders (as well as buoys and ships) with respect to a given GPS location (from an external source). Surfalarm: a program that can send text messages or make direct phone calls, acting upon a glider to surface and connect to a dockserver, being in a mission, or aborted. Serial2rudics: a helper program that lets a glider simulator connected to a serial port appear as a glider connecting and disconnection via rudics/iridium when at ther surface or underwater, respectively.

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.

This project is a tool for developers on modular robotics. You can create modular robots, movements for each servo of the robot, simulate the robots. Also it has an API for creating your own Python scripts.

Navlib is a collection of algorithms created to solve the navigation problem for 2D non-holonomic vehicles. It includes code for computational geometry, system identification, path planning, and control. Written in C++ with python extensions.

pyPal is a jabber based chatterbot that can be used to launch commands remotely as well as to make some good conversation. It is expected to be capable of multi-language learning.

pyWombat is a Python encapsulation layer for the Serial Wombat PIC microprocessor (www.serialwombat.com). The goal is to develop a robotics platform with intelligence on the host in Python and 'arms, legs and eyes' on the Wombat. See Wiki for details.
