MORSE, the OpenRobot Simulator

Main features

• A versatile simulator for generic mobile robots simulation (single or multi robots),
• 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 + physical simulation + UI, 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),

• Currently compatible with YARP and LAAS OpenRobots robotics frameworks,

• Fully open source, BSD-compatible.
