Dear ROS community,

We are happy to announce a ROS stack enabling a powerful ROS interface to the V-REP robot simulator. The stack is located here.

The stack allows building a plugin which offers more than 100 services, more than 30 publisher types and more than 25 subscriber types, thus enabling fast and elaborate data transfer or function calls to/from V-REP. The plugin can easily be extended with custom services / publisher types / subscriber types.

Documentation to the ROS plugin can be found here.

V-REP is the Swiss army knife among robot simulators: hundreds of features and functions, and a very elaborate API. Students may use V-REP with full functionality for free.

For more information, please visit http://www.coppeliarobotics.com, or have a look at following demo video:

Or visit us at IROS, at Hibot's booth.

Best regards,

Marc
