Open-Source Robotics and Hardware Projects

Hardware-adjacent software has the smallest competitive field in this catalog, because the barrier to entry is physical and most people stop at the simulator.

That barrier is also the moat. A project that reliably talks to real devices is far harder to displace than one that talks to an API.
