What is this Python project?

Pybotics is an open-source Python toolbox for robot kinematics and calibration. It was designed to provide a simple, clear, and concise interface to quickly simulate and evaluate common robot concepts, such as kinematics, dynamics, trajectory generations, and calibration. The toolbox is specifically designed for use with the Modified Denavit–Hartenberg parameters convention.

Applications & Examples

• Basic Usage
• Kinematics
• Calibration
• Trajectory and Path Planning
• Machine Learning
• Dynamics

This toolbox was featured in the Journal of Open Source Software: https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.01738

What's the difference between this Python project and similar ones?

1. As MATLAB® is not necessarily readily available outside of academia, Pybotics was originally developed as a fully open-source alternative to the Robotics Toolbox by Peter Corke.
2. rospy is a client for the ROS framework and performs a different function.
3. PythonRobotics is a repository of code samples primarily focusing on trajectory planning for mobile robotics. Pybotics focuses more on industrial robots and is a framework for modelling robots.
4. Pybotics can be integrated with the above two packages as the modelling component.
