Awesome Robotic Tooling

A curated list of tooling for professional robotic development in C++ and Python with a touch of ROS, autonomous driving and aerospace

To stop reinventing the wheel you need to know about the wheel. This list is an attempt to show the variety of open and free tools in software and hardware development, which are useful in professional robotic development.

Your contribution is necessary to keep this list alive, increase the quality and to expand it. You can read more about it's origin and how you can participate in the contribution guide and related blog post. All new project entries will have a tweet from protontypes.
