Free robot software for linux

JRobot project is a complete tool to manipulate the Mitsubishi RVM1 robot.
Its features include the ability to connect to a RVM1 robot locally and remotely, viewing from a camera with RTP, and a virtual view which is useful when executing JRobot in test mode.
It is possible to manipulate the RVM1 robot with a joystick and program and test it with a GUI.
Main features:
- Easy programming with editor: saving, loading, executing programs as easy as hello.
- Output window to know any time whats happening
- Virtual view in JAVA3D created with milimeter precision,
- Possible view with a camera, on local or remote through a RTP server,
- Possible connection to RVM1 robot by serial port or remote through a server.

NRobot project is an autonomous robot fighting game.

Instead of directly controlling a robot, the human playing the game must write a program that acts as the "brain" of the robot.

The robot will then be dumped into the game arena and must attempt to survive on its own. NRobot is written for the ECMA CLR. Its been tested on Mono and on Microsofts .NET framework. Currently, it is functional and "playable".

It comes with three sample robot implementations, so that "out of the box" you can watch a game. One important missing feature is a security architecture: robot code executes with full privileges.

Thus, its recommended that if you are running any robots from untrusted sources, NRobot is run under a user account with no privileges over files you care about.

Its also short on documentation, and the GUI implementations have some rough edges.

GNU Robots project is a robot construction game.
GNU Robots is a game/diversion where you construct a program for a little robot, then watch him explore a world.
The world is filled with baddies that can hurt you, objects that you can bump into, and food that you can eat.
The goal of the game is to collect as many prizes as possible before you are killed by a baddie or you run out of energy.
GNU Robots is a game/diversion where you construct a program for a little robot, then watch him explore a world. The world is filled with baddies that can hurt you, objects that you can bump into, and food that you can eat. The goal of the game is to collect as many prizes as possible before are killed by a baddie or you run out of energy. GNU Robots (including source) will be released under the GNU General Public License.
The GNU Robots playing field is filled with food (increases energy), prizes (to increase your score), walls (which you can bump into), and baddies (which can inflict damage.)
To make the program easier to design and implement, I have decided to let the robot program be written in a text file, so that advanced programmers dont have to limit themselves to a visual programming interface. The language will be Scheme, which provides for flexibility in writing your programs. For non-programmers, there will also be a visual programming interface, which will generate Scheme code.
GNU Robots uses GNU Guile as the language back-end (Scheme). This will make the GNU Robots game engine more consistent with other GNU projects, as it will use the same extension language.
Enhancements:
- Added some extra documentation (but not much) and the early beginning of code clean-up.

robots.txt is a script in PHP that acts like a normal robots.txt file, but with a few differences.
When a Spider attempts to access robots.txt, the script will "disallow" access to a list of pre-defined directories. When a normal user attempts to access robots.txt, it will "disallow" access to all directories.
This is a security precuation and an attempt to prevent users from finding "hidden" directories by looking at the robots.txt file.
Enhancements:
- The two serious bugs that meant robots.txt did not function properly were fixed.
- A bug that meant the data printed back would not be parseable by Web crawlers was fixed.
- A new function to clean up data from the files was added.

Robocode Robots project is a collection of robocode robots.

This project is a collection of robots for the robocode framework.

Robocode is an alphaworks project from IBM that provides an environment for creating software robots that compete against each other.

This collection provides examples for people who wish to write their own robots.

WWW::Google::SiteMap::Robot is a Perl extension for creating Google SiteMaps by spidering a site.

SYNOPSIS

use WWW::Google::SiteMap::Robot;

my $robot = WWW::Google::SiteMap::Robot->new(
domain => www.jasonkohles.com,
restrict => qr{^http://www.jasonkohles.com/},
starting_url => [/index.html,/google-me.html],
delay => 1, # delay in minutes
sitemap_file => /var/www/html/sitemap.gz,
sitemap_url => http://www.jasonkohles.com/sitemap.gz,
user_agent => MyOwnSpider/1.0,
);
$robot->run();

This is a simple robot class which subclasses LWP::RobotUA to create a web-crawling spider. By giving it the URL to your home page, it will crawl all the pages it can find and create a sitemap for them.

Open RObot COntrol Software (Orocos) framework applies software patterns in C++ to achieve real-time execution of software components and provides an infrastructure to quickly integrate them in a real-time operating system such as RTAI or RTLinux, although it can be tested on normal Linux systems.
The Orocos project started as a Free Software project for robotics, but it has outgrown its robotics-dependent roots. Hence, "Orocos" now consists of two decoupled but integrated sub-projects:
Open Realtime Control Services.
This is a hard realtime Software Framework for all possible machine control applications, fully independent of the projects original robotics focus. It is designed to run safely parallel user defined tasks, on both vanilla Linux 2.6 and hard realtime RTAI. Extensive graphical configuration support is available.
Available features: hardware abstraction, operating system abstraction, event handling, hierarchical and parallel state machines, realtime "PLC" scripting, command parsing, online property configuration, multiple time- and event-triggered threads, advanced data protection for synchronous/asynchronous data flow, strongly typed data flow, (on-line) configuration support, ...
Integration between RTAI and TAO and ACE is also part of the ongoing work towards a hard realtime distributed control infastructure based on CORBA.
Open Robot Control Software.
A set of class libraries and an application framework offering generic functionality for machine tools and robots: cascaded control loops and control components, motion generation and interpolation; kinematics and dynamics; robot-specific control algorithms; estimation and identification; etc.
The following families of applications have working implementations available: force-controlled 6R manipulator arm and Cartesian XYZ machine tools. We would welcome developers to start mobile robot and humanoid robot application(s). In those efforts, much of the material of the above-mentioned applications can be reused. In addition, detailed support is available through the Developers mailing list. So, each new application requires moderate programming effort. (Not taking into account system-dependent modules such as device drivers, or kinematic routines.)
Open RObot COntrol Software is designed to appeal to roboticists. See the Orocos project homepage for an automated download script.
Enhancements:
- Support for RTAI 3.4 and 3.5 was improved.
- Various fixes were made in the CORBA support layer.
- The example code and documentation had a review.
