A C++ library with Python bindings for interfacing with Luxonis DepthAI hardware, supporting pipelines that can span one or several devices.
eCAL is a brokerless middleware for fast interprocess communication on one computer or across a network, offering publish-subscribe and server-client patterns with little configuration.
Unitree's second-generation C++ software development kit for controlling Unitree robots. It provides the library and examples needed to build applications that talk to the robots.
A long-range packet radio link that runs over raw WiFi radio, carrying UDP-style data such as video, MAVLink telemetry, and IP traffic between a drone and a ground station.
Vosk is an offline open source speech recognition toolkit supporting more than 20 languages, with streaming recognition and bindings for many programming languages.
Nebula is a universal sensor driver platform for ROS 2, mainly targeting Ethernet-based LiDAR sensors, and is the recommended driver for the Autoware project.
A ROS 2 package that connects the ros2_control controller architecture to the Gazebo simulator through a Gazebo-Sim system plugin.
INAV is open-source flight controller firmware for multirotors, fixed-wing aircraft and other vehicles, adding navigation features like position hold and return to home.
Mission Planner is a Windows ground control station for ArduPilot-based drones and vehicles, used to plan missions, configure and monitor them. It also runs on Linux (via Mono) and Android.
A Python library for reading and controlling a car's steering, gas, brakes and other functions over its CAN bus, mainly to support openpilot's driver-assistance features.
Webots is an open-source robot simulator providing a complete environment to model, program and simulate robots, vehicles and mechanical systems, aimed at beginners in robotics.
BEHAVIOR-1K is a simulation benchmark for testing embodied AI agents on 1,000 everyday household activities such as cleaning, cooking, and organizing.
MAVSDK is a set of cross-platform libraries giving a high-level API to MAVLink, the messaging protocol used to communicate with drones and other vehicles.
