ARA
ARA is a Grasshopper plugin for data-driven and inverse design methods with generative AI. It enables designers, architects and engineers to efficiently generate design solutions with the assistance of generative neural networks. ARA is open-source and builds on top of the AIXD: AI-eXtended Design toolkit. Related projects:

AIXD: AI-eXtended Design
AIXD is a toolkit for AI-based and data-driven design exploration in architecture, product design, civil and mechanical engineering etc. It allows designers and engineers to easily train and deploy models for inverse design to generate new designs, for surrogate modelling, sensitivity analysis, along with data analysis and visualization.

Software
roslibpy
Python ROS Bridge library allows to use Python and IronPython to interact with ROS, the open-source robotic middleware. It uses WebSockets to connect to rosbridge 2.0 and provides publishing, subscribing, service calls, actionlib, TF, and other essential ROS functionality. Unlike the rospy library, this does not require a local ROS environment, allowing usage from platforms other than Linux.

Software
COMPAS EVE
Event-based communication infrastructure to the COMPAS framework. Using events is a way to decouple the components of a system, making it easier to develop, test, and maintain. This allow communication between different parts of a program using messages. These messages are sent around using a publisher/subscriber model.

COMPAS FAB: Robotic fabrication package for the COMPAS Framework
Robotic fabrication package for the COMPAS Framework facilitating the planning and execution of robotic fabrication processes. It provides interfaces to existing software libraries and tools available in the field of robotics (e.g. OMPL, ROS) and makes them accessible from within the parametric design environment. The package builds upon COMPAS, an open-source Python-based framework for collaboration and research in architecture, engineering and digital fabrication.
