The robot controller programs can be written outside of Webots in C, C++, Python, ROS, Java and MATLAB using a simple API. lidars, radars, proximity sensors, light sensors, touch sensors, GPS, accelerometers, cameras, emitters and receivers, servo motors (rotational & linear), position and force sensor, LEDs, grippers, gyros, compass, IMU, etc. Webots includes a set of sensors and actuators frequently used in robotic experiments, e.g. The ODE library allows one to accurately simulate physical properties of objects such as velocity, inertia and friction. Webots uses a fork of the ODE ( Open Dynamics Engine) for detecting of collisions and simulating rigid body dynamics. Simple fluid dynamics is present in the software. The physical properties include the mass, friction factor, as well as the spring and damping constants. The graphical properties include the shape, dimensions, position and orientation, colors, and texture of the object. When designing a robot model, the user specifies both the graphical and the physical properties of the objects. In addition, it is also possible to build new models from scratch or import them from 3D CAD software. Webots includes a large collection of freely modifiable models of robots, sensors, actuators and objects. Since December 2018, it is released under the free and open-source Apache 2 license. Olivier Michel at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ( EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland and then from 1998 by Cyberbotics Ltd. The Webots project started in 1996, initially developed by Dr.
