Webots is a free and open-source 3D robot simulator used in industry, education and research.. The Webots project started in 1996, initially developed by Dr. Olivier Michel at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland and then from 1998 by Cyberbotics Ltd. as a proprietary licensed software.
An open source iCub robot mounted on a supporting frame. The robot is 104 cm high and weighs around 22 kg. Open-source robotics is a branch of robotics where robots are developed with open-source hardware and free and open-source software, publicly sharing blueprints, schematics, and source code.
Open Robotics is a nonprofit corporation headquartered in Mountain View, California.It is the primary maintainer of the Robot Operating System, and the Gazebo simulator. [1] [2] Its stated mission is to support "the development, distribution and adoption of open source software for use in robotics research, education, and product development".
Free and open-source software portal; Simbad robot simulator is an open-source cross-platform software simulator used to develop robotics and artificial intelligence applications. [1] The Simbad project started in 2005, initially developed by Dr. Louis Hugues and is widely used for educational purposes. [2]
Gazebo is an open-source 2D/3D robotics simulator that began development in 2002. In 2017, development forked into two versions, known as "Gazebo", the original monolithic architecture, and "Ignition", which had moved to becoming a modernized collection of loosely coupled libraries.
AirSim (Aerial Informatics and Robotics Simulation) is an open-source, cross platform simulator for drones, ground vehicles such as cars and various other objects, built on Epic Games’ proprietary Unreal Engine 4 as a platform for AI research. [2]
The simulator allows for robotics programs to be conveniently written and debugged off-line with the final version of the program tested on a physical robot. This applies mainly to industrial robotic applications, since the success of off-line programming depends on how similar the physical environment of a robot is to a simulated environment.
Robot Operating System (ROS or ros) is an open-source robotics middleware suite. Although ROS is not an operating system (OS) but a set of software frameworks for robot software development , it provides services designed for a heterogeneous computer cluster such as hardware abstraction , low-level device control , implementation of commonly ...
