Re: [Sserver-three-d] League Discussion, TC elections, free challenge

[Peter S. <ps...@cs...>]

All,

At yesterday's discussion, I mentioned the robotics simulator that is
being used by the DARPA robotics challenge.  I suggested that it might
be worthwhile for some members of our community to evaluate whether it
would be a practical next step for the simulator of the 3D simulation
league.

Some obvious features are that it is open source, it uses ROS which
provides easy interface with robots, and there is a large user community
- especially after the DARPA challenge ends.  It's possible that we
could work with the developers to help support it for our purposes.  Or
we could try to modify it ourselves.

In any case, some of you have asked me where to find the simulator.

The whole simulation environment is already available to play
with. There's a tutorial here: http://gazebosim.org/wiki/InstallDRC

I'm cc-ing on this message both Oskar von Strryk and Arnoud Visser, who
already have experience with the simulator.

Best,
	Peter
