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 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.
