Dear ROS community,
We are happy to announce the newest version of the robot simulator V-REP
<http://www.coppeliarobotics.com> now also featuring an extensive ROS
interface
<http://www.coppeliarobotics.com/helpFiles/en/rosInterfaceOverview.htm>.
Students may use V-REP with full functionality for free.
V-REP is the Swiss army knife among robot simulators: hundreds of
features and functions, and a very elaborate API:
* 5 programming approaches (embedded scripts, plugins, ROS nodes,
remote API clients, or custom solutions)
* 6 programming languages (C/C++, Python, Java, Lua, Matlab, and Urbi)
* more than 300 different API functions
* >100 ROS services, >30 ROS publisher types, >25 ROS subscriber
types, extendable
* 2 physics engines (ODE and Bullet)
* Full kinematics solver (IK and FK for ANY mechanisms), can also be
embedded on your robot
* Mesh-mesh interference detection
* Mesh-mesh minimum distance calculation
* Path planning (holonomic in 2-6 dimensions, non-holonomic for
car-like vehicles)
* Vision sensors with built-in image processing (fully extendable)
* Realistic proximity sensors (minimum distance calculation within a
detection volume)
* Built-in custom user interfaces, including editor
* Fully integrated Reflexxes Motion Library type 4
* Surface cutting simulation
* Data recording and visualisation (time graphs, X/Y graph or 3D curves)
* Integrated shape edit modes, including a semi-automatic primitive
shape extraction method
* Dynamic particles for water-/air-jet simulation
* Model browser with drag-and-drop functionality (also during simulation)
* Multi-level undo/redo, movie recorder, simulation of paint,
exhaustive documentation, etc.
