Software

Most of our software is open-source and available on the laboratory Github. In particular, you might be interested in the following packages:

All our contributions related to ODRI are available on the Open Dynamic Robot Initiative Github. It includes hardware designs, low-level real-time control code, simulation tools and basic controllers for legged robots.


Robots

We work with a wide range of robots. Our laboratory has a Sarcos humanoid robot, a Bolt biped, several Solo12 quadrupeds, several manipulation and mobile platforms including a Kuka iiwa14 and a tri-finger platform. Our laboratory consists of a 1000sqft fully sensorized space including a motion capture system. We also conduct large scale, collaborative experiments in a 3000sqft shared robotics experimental facility. The hardware designs of the ODRI robots are open and can be found here. Check out our Youtube channel to see our robots moving!
