Open Initiatives Links

Natural Machine Motion Initiative (NMMI) is a place to meet, discuss and share ideas of Soft Robotics, to understand and build robots that move like you.

OpenBionics is an open-source initiative for the development of affordable, light-weight, modular robot hands and prosthetic devices, that can be easily reproduced using off-the-shelf materials.

OpenRobotHardware is intended to serve a resource for efforts in disseminating open and open-source mechanical and electrical hardware for robotic systems, with a particular focus on projects that may be useful in academic research and education.

Yale-CMU-Berkeley (YCB) Object and Model set is designed for facilitating benchmarking in robotic grasping and manipulation.
