Pyrobot was funded from 2003 to 2005 by the [[National Science Foundation]] as NSF DUE CCLI-EMD Award number 0231363, "Beyond LEGOs: Hardware, Software, and Curriculum for the Next Generation Robot Laboratory". The principal investigators on the NSF grant were [[Douglas Blank]] of [[Bryn Mawr College]], [[Kurt Konolige]] of [[SRI International]], [[Deepak Kumar (computer scientist)]] of [[Bryn Mawr College]], [[Lisa Meeden]] of [[Swarthmore College]], and [[Holly Yanco]] of [[University of Massachusetts Lowell]].
 
PyroBot is a [[Python (programming language)|Python]] library with some C++ code for processing camera images. It has connections to [[Player_Project|Player]], Stage, and Gazebo. It also contains its own simulator written completely in Python. It can directly control a variety of real robots, including the Pioneer, [[Khepera mobile robot|Khepera]], [[AIBO]], and Hemisson.
 
The ideas from PyroBot continue to evolve as Myro, short for My Robot, in the [[Institute for Personal Robots in Education]] software, although it is no longer for Python only. Myro can be used by many other computer languages as well.
