OpenRAVE

OpenRAVE is an open-source, cross-platform, plugin-based robot planning architecture that serves as the center of robot execution. It includesservices like collision detection, robot kinematics, physics, sensors, robot controls, and a network scripting environment.


Carnegie Mellon, School of Computer Science, Pittsburgh PA.

"We've been using Coin3D (with SoQt) for almost two years now on our open-source robotics simulator called OpenRAVE. We're very happy with Coin3D and we would like to let everyone know that we're using it." (Rosen Diankov, student).

 
Three questions about Coin3D:

1. How do you use Coin3D (for what, specifically)
2. How does Coin3D help you in your project?
3. How did you learn about Coin3D?

 

  1. We use Coin3D with SoQt as the front-end graphics to our cross-platform robotics simulator package.

  2. Although it is primarily used to visualize the scene and information about robotics algorithms, we also use it for parsing
    iv/vrml file formats for geometry triangulation and simulating camera and laser range sensors for the robot.

  3. Word of mouth. We were primarily looking for an open-source cross-platform package with a mature API.
