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.

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? ...

Allows one to program fablab (factory and/or laboratory) in the same way as we program computer. Imagine commands like: "dim screw12 as new screw" or "mold(form_piston_081212, brass)" or ''gear(3)=lasercut(steel2,"biggear.gc")". This approach will let us program highly automated and self-deploying or even self-replicating factories. I am more engineer than programmer and just beginner in python.

pySpykeeWeb is a simple web server written in Python for controlling a Spykee robot. Currently the program supports robot movement, dock, undock, battery level reporting commands, and video streaming.

A simple GUI frontend for the Microchip pk2cmd program written in python. At the minute it only supports writing. I plan to add reading and maintainance (renaming pickit2 devices, updating firmware) features soon.

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.
