Robotics Engineering Collection

Welcome To The World Robotics Engineering Collection ®. A collection of awesome software, libraries, Learning Tutorials, documents, books, resources and interesting stuff about Robotics. Thanks to our daily readers and contributors. The goal is to build a categorized community-driven collection of very well-known resources. Sharing, suggestions and contributions are always welcome!

What is Robotics?

Robotics is the intersection of science, engineering and technology that produces machines, called robots, that substitute for (or replicate) human actions.

Gazebo Robot Simulator

ROS The Robot Operating System (ROS) is a flexible framework for writing robot software. It is a collection of tools, libraries, and conventions that aim to simplify the task of creating complex and robust robot behavior across a wide variety of robotic platforms.

ROS2 ROS2 is a new version of ROS with radical design changes and improvement over older ROS version.

RobWork RobWork is a collection of C++ libraries for simulation and control of robot systems. RobWork is used for research and education as well as for practical robot applications.

MRPT Mobile Robot Programming Toolkit provides developers with portable and well-tested applications and libraries covering data structures and algorithms employed in common robotics research areas.

Robotics Library The Robotics Library (RL) is a self-contained C++ library for robot kinematics, motion planning and control. It covers mathematics, kinematics and dynamics, hardware abstraction, motion planning, collision detection, and visualization.

Simbad 2D/3D simulator in Java and Jython.

Morse General purpose indoor/outdoor 3D simulator.

Carmen CARMEN is an open-source collection of software for mobile robot control. CARMEN is modular software designed to provide basic navigation primitives including: base and sensor control, logging, obstacle avoidance, localization, path planning, and mapping.

Peekabot Peekabot is a real-time, networked 3D visualization tool for robotics, written in C++. Its purpose is to simplify the visualization needs faced by a roboticist daily.

YARP Yet Another Robot Platform.

V-REP Robot simulator, 3D, source available, Lua scripting, APIs for C/C++, Python, Java, Matlab, URBI, 2 physics engines, full kinematic solver.
