CyberRobooo · x · 2026-11-08
Jianglong Ye's team released OpenRoboKit, a series of open-source robotics projects:
- RoboKit: a high-performance, general-purpose toolkit for optimization and simulation that scales from one problem to thousands solved in parallel; its paper was accepted as a CoRL 2026 Spotlight
- RetargetingKit: motion retargeting and teleoperation
- GraspKit: end-to-end grasping
RoboKit covers inverse kinematics, MPC, motion planning, and RL, is MIT-licensed, and has 79 stars on GitHub. The promo video features a 16-hour grasping time-lapse and dexterous retargeting demos.
