Webots
Webots ist ein physikbasierter Robotersimulator und eine Entwicklungsumgebung, die für die Modellierung, Programmierung und das Testen des Verhaltens von Robotern in einer simulierten 3D-physikalischen Welt verwendet wird. Es dient als virtuelles Prototyping-Tool zur Verifizierung mechanischer und elektronischer Systeme durch die Erstellung virtueller Robotermodelle und Steuerungslogik.
Die Plattform ermöglicht einen vollständigen Robotik-Simulations-Workflow, einschließlich der Entwicklung von Roboter-Controllern und der Programmierung autonomer Agenten-Verhaltensweisen. Sie konzentriert sich auf die Modellierung physischer Systeme, um die mechanischen Eigenschaften von Hardware abzubilden und reale Interaktionen zu simulieren.
Die Fähigkeiten des Systems decken die Entwicklung von Roboter-Controllern, die Programmierung autonomer Agenten sowie die allgemeine Modellierung und Simulation robotischer Systeme ab.
