Webots is a professional robot simulator widely use in academic and education. The Webots project started in 1996, initially developed at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ([EPFL]) in Lausanne.
A whole collection of robots is distributed with Webots, in addition custom models can be built by the users. When designing a custom model, it is possible to specify the object shapes, dimensions, colors, and also the physical properties such as mass, friction, spring & damping constant, etc. Another useful feature is that it is possible to interact with a running simulation at any time. Webots also also offer the useful possibility to create movies and screen shots.
Webots includes a complete list of sensors and actuators, e.g. proximity sensors, light sensors, touch sensors, GPS, accelerometers, cameras, emitters and receivers, servo motors (rotation & linear), position and force sensor, LEDs, grippers, etc.
The robot controllers can be programmed in C, C++ and Java or interfaced to other languages. The AIBO robots can be programmed using the URBI language (URBI license required).
Webots uses the ODE (Open Dynamics Engine) for the collision detection and dynamic simulation.
