Product Name: WEBOTS simulation software

Product Description

Webots allows a user to model any mobile robot with accurate simulation. A user can user models included (AIBO robot, humanoid robot, Blimp flying robot, soccer robot, LEGO Mindstorms robot, Hemisson robot, etc.) or create his/her own model by shaping a robot and setting sensors and actuators. 

Improvements from WEBOTS 4 to WEBOTS 5 
Shadows 
built-in IDE for compiling controllers 
AIBO ERS-7 support 
Saves the sizes and positions of windows 
Several bug fixes and minor improvements. 
Major improvements from WEBOTS 3 to WEBOTS 4 
Uses the ODE (Open Dynamics Engine) library for accurate physics simulation 
Runs on Mac OS X (in addition to Windows and Linux versions). 
Transfer to LEGO Mindstorms, Hemisson, and AIBO (in addition to existing Khepera transfer). 
Many improvements in the user and programming interface, bug fixes, and new sensors and actuators were introduced. 


Models and simulates any mobile robot, including wheeled, legged and flying robots. 
Includes a complete library of sensors and actuators. 
A number of sensors can be plugged into your robot model and tuned individually (range, noise, response, field of view, etc.). Similarly, a number of actuators can be plugged into your robot model, and even be combined hierarchically. 
Accurate simulation system 
The simulation system used in Webots uses virtual time, making it possible to run simulations much faster than it would take on a real robot. Depending on the complexity of the setup and the power of your computer, simulations can run up to 300 times faster than on the real robot when using the fast simulation mode. 
Lets you program the robots in C, C++ and Java, or from third party software through TCP/IP. 
Transfers controllers to real mobile robots, including AIBO, LEGO Mindstorms, Khepera, Koala, and Hemisson. 
Realistic Physics Simulation 
Simulating complex robotic devices including articulated mechanical parts requires precise physics simulation. Webots relies on ODE (Open Dynamics Engine) to perform accurate physics simulation wherever it is necessary. 
Interactivity 
The graphical user interface of Webots allows you to easily interact with the simulation while it is running. 
Creates AVI or MPEG simulation movies for web and public presentations. 
Includes many examples with controller source code and models of commercially available robots. 
Discount available when purchased with Khepera II robot.
