Chapter 7. 3D Modeling and Simulation

Programming directly on a real robot gives us a good feedback and is more impressive than simulations, but not everybody has access to real robots. For this reason, we have programs that simulate the physical world.

In this chapter, we are going to learn how to:

• Create a 3D model of our robot
• Provide movements, physical limits, inertia, and other physical aspects to our robot
• Add simulated sensors to our 3D model
• Use the model on the simulator
