== Main features ==

 * A versatile simulator for generic '''mobile robots simulation''' ('''single''' or '''multi''' robots),
 * '''Easy to extend''' with your own components, and come out-of-the box with over '''10 classes of sensors''', '''8 type of actuators''', 3 complete robotics platform.
 * Enabling realistic and '''dynamic environments''' (with other '''interacting agents''' -humans- or objects),
 * Don't reinvent the wheel: critical components reused from other opensource projects ('''Blender for 3D rendering''' + UI, '''Bullet''' for physical simulation, dedicated robotic middlewares for communications + robot hardware support),
 * '''Middleware agnostic''': currently compatible with ROS, YARP and LAAS !OpenRobots robotics frameworks. See the full [[http://www.openrobots.org/morse/doc/stable/user/supported_middlewares.html#compatibility-matrix | compatibility matrix]].
 * '''Seamless workflow''': since the simulator rely on Blender for both modelling and the realtime 3D engine, creating and modifying a simulated scene is straigthforward.
 * Entierely '''scriptable in Python''',
 * Adaptable to various level of simulation realism (for instance, we may want to simulate exteroceptive sensors like cameras in certain cases and access directly to a higher level representation of the world -like labelled artifacts- in other cases),
 * Fully open source, '''BSD-compatible'''.
