Open subcomponents can include [[open-source computing hardware]] as subcomponents, such as [[Arduino]] and [[RISC-V]], as well as open source motors and drivers such as the Open Source Motor Controller and [[ODrive]].

Open source robots are often used together with, so are designed to interface to, the open source robotics middleware [[Robot Operating System]] and various open source simulators such as [[Gazebo simulator|Gazebo]], running on the open source [[Linux]] operating system.

Line 173 ⟶ 171:

=== Middleware ===

[[Robotics middleware]] is software which links multiple other software components together. In robotics, this specifically means real-time communication systems with standardized message passing protocols. The predominant open source middleware is [[Robot Operating System|ROS2]], the robot operating system, now as version 2. Other alternatives include ROS1, YARP — used in the [[iCub]], [[URBI]], and [[Orca]]. Open source middleware is usually run on an open source operating system, especially the [[Ubuntu]] distribution of [[Linux]].

=== Simulation software ===

Open source robotics simulators include [[Gazebo simulator|Gazebo]], [[MuJoCo]] and [[Webots]]. Open source 3D game engines such as [[Godot (game engine)|Godot]] are also sometimes used as simulators, when equipped with suitable middleware interfaces.<ref>{{Citation |last=nordstream3 |title=nordstream3/Godot-4-ROS2-integration |date=2025-03-07 |url=https://github.com/nordstream3/Godot-4-ROS2-integration |access-date=2025-03-09}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=ProviewR X Godot |url=https://www.nexedi.com/blog/P-OSIE-Blog.ProviewR.Godot |archive-url=httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20240302131907/https://www.nexedi.com/blog/P-OSIE-Blog.ProviewR.Godot |archive-date=2 March 2024-03-02 |access-date=2025-03-09 |website=Nexedi |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite arXiv |eprint=2412.18408 |last1=Peraltai |first1=Daniel |last2=Qin |first2=Xin |title=Exploring Flexible Scenario Generation in Godot Simulator |date=2024 |class=cs.AI }}</ref><ref>{{Citation |title=plaans/gobot-sim |date=2025-01-27 |url=https://github.com/plaans/gobot-sim |access-date=2025-03-09 |publisher=PLAN @ LAAS (plaans)}}</ref>
