Top 23 Python Robotic Projects

openpilot
openpilot is an operating system for robotics. Currently, it upgrades the driver assistance system on 300+ supported cars.
Project mention: Autonomous drone defeats human champions in racing first | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-06-04Yes. https://www.psu.edu/news/campus-life/story/hackers-who-remot...
Even without vulnerabilities like that, something like https://comma.ai/openpilot could very likely be used in the same way ArduPilot was used in the recent Ukrainian drone attacks.

Project mention: MonsterUI: Python library for building front end UIs quickly in FastHTML apps | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-06-02
I'm not familiar with SwiftUI, but have you seen NiceGUI: https://nicegui.io/
You define your UI in Python and the end result is a Vue/Quasar UI stylable with Tailwind (in case you want to poke at that) that is hosted as a FastAPI app.

rosa
ROSA 🤖 is an AI Agent designed to interact with ROS1- and ROS2-based robotics systems using natural language queries. ROSA helps robot developers inspect, diagnose, understand, and operate robots. (by nasa-jpl)
Project mention: NASA JPL open-sourced ROSA, an AI agent for robot development and operations | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-08-24- "Echo the `/robot/status` topic"
Additionally, we added a quick and easy way to demo the agents capabilities by creating a custom agent for the TurtleSim bot. This agent serves as both an easy-to-use demo (in Docker), and as a how-to guide for creating your own custom agents.
As for the practical benefits of ROSA: we did several evaluations in which we asked human experts the same questions we asked of ROSA. For instance, "give me a list of 'status' topics, along with the message type, publishers, and subscribers, in a table format." The results were stunning, with cost savings anywhere between 5000% to 25,000%.
In the future, we plan to release agents for JPL's Open Source Rover and Boston Dynamics Spot robot, to name a few.
We would love to get your opinions and we are open to contributions from the community!
Check out the ROSA project on Github: https://github.com/nasa-jpl/rosa
