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.

A cross-platform library that computes fast and accurate SIFT image features. libsiftfast provides Octave/Matlab scripts, a command line interface, and a python interface (siftfastpy). Optimized with SIMD instructions and OpenMP .

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

CoPP is an object-oriented framework for developing algorithms for robot path planning. One of of the design goals is to make it easy to make comparisons between various path planning algorithms.

The library currently consists of an implementation of collision detection of static/moving ellipsoids that exploits frame-coherence using separating planes. Please visit http://www.cs.hku.hk/GraphicsGroup/cd.html for paper references.
