PyRobot is a lightweight, high-level Python library providing hardware-independent APIs for robotic manipulation and navigation, built on top of ROS. It also includes the low-level software stack for LoCoBot, a low-cost mobile manipulator hardware platform.
Use cases
- control a LoCoBot or Sawyer robot arm from Python
- run robot learning experiments and benchmarks
- simulate a mobile manipulator in Gazebo
- perform robot navigation and grasping tasks
- add support for a custom robot via configuration files
- calibrate a robot camera and arm
When to choose
- you need a high-level, hardware-agnostic Python API for robot manipulation and navigation
- you are doing robot learning research on LoCoBot or Sawyer
- you want to benchmark algorithms across different robots with a common interface
When to avoid
- you need a modern, actively developed robotics framework (the project targets Ubuntu 16.04 and ROS Kinetic)
- you work outside Linux/ROS ecosystems
- you need production-grade industrial robot control rather than research tooling
