== Road Map ==

The first release of MORSE contains only a subset of the final simulator specification.

Amongst the planned features:

 * Support for arms simulation, based on inverse kinematics. This has been separately developped by the Leuven's university and will be merge into MORSE over the next releases,
 * Raw sockets interface + full compatiblity with the ROS robotics framework (other robotics framework are planned as well. Let us know if you want to contribute in this area),
 * Developement of the user interface,
 * Scalablity (both in term of simulation capacity and ease of deployment),
 * Multi-node simulations (several Blender nodes can be started on several computer and automaticaly synchronise, which should allow simulations of tenth of robots in the same scene),
 * Dedicated supervision node that would allow to: observe the simulation, display logs and metrics, start/stop robots, dynamically alter the scene (like moving an obstacle in front of a robot, etc.).

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),

  • 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),
  • Middleware agnostic: currently compatible with YARP and LAAS OpenRobots robotics frameworks, others are coming.

  • Fully open source, BSD-compatible.
