Re: [simspark-devel] Nao model

Hi,

I totally agree with you that the physical models are much more important than how a robot looks like.

However, "the unrealistic results" are not just because of the models. And I think it is largely caused by the current simulator. Such as, unrealistic servo motor models, the control system via servo speed, ODE can not simulate elastic joint, friction   force of the soccer environment and the rigid bodies (robot and ball), noise models, etc.

Hi All,
 From a research perspective physical models are much more important 
than how a robot look like -- even it may be too late to use them in 
this years' competition.  We've examined the current physical models 
under the biped locomotion problem, but the current models leaded to 
very unrealistic results compared with the published work based on the 
real NAOs.  So it would be extremely useful if Aldeberan can help us to 
establish more realistic physical models.
