2D Bot Simulation / Blog: Recent posts

Hello there !
I have been away from this project for some time now, for family reasons ( good ones ).

So now the new features are only into the square views, but still :

• collision detection within lua
• logs available ( from lua via print and from c++ via std::cout << "msg" << std::endl ) in a new view
• a system to draw the bot's view is now available too, in order to debug more efficiently your bot behaviour.... read more

Yarp : http://wiki.icub.org/yarpdoc/index.html
Orca : http://orca-robotics.sourceforge.net/orca_doc_overview.html

All software to give you access to robotics programming.
All too complicated ...

I think there is still room for a lot of improvements on the user-friendly field.
Like Linux was at first something only professional could handle until the Debian distribution or even until Ubuntu came in to bring powerful tools to end users.... read more

Hello there !

Another feature for you today : collisions within the squares view !

You define your area within the area.lua file and then you set that your bot ( within its lua ) can collide with a tagId ( see example ).

A lots to do yet ! Next todo : possibility to change the script file for bots :) And Logs !!

Hello there !

I just updated the version of HO Simu ( in release now so lighter to download ).

THe idea is to compose your work envirronment with windows you want or do not want.
I just recreated what we had with the last version regarding funcionalities ( except now you have an area.lua script for your simulation )

We also lost the 2D version, but I will commit / send it in a few days.

For next release :
- 2D simulation windows OK
- More possibilities regarding the area.lua script ( env definition )
- collisions and detection within the lua script for bots.
- Better management of bots ( to be able to change the script for the bot is the first thing I will do )... read more

Hello there !
To compile : use QT 4.8 minimum version available here : http://download.qt-project.org
We compile and execute in QT 5.3 and will only support that version in the future.
Thanks !
