Tools
A list of useful tool for constructing, building, studying or programming robots.
Simulation, Construction, Learning
- Sodaplay - Simulation of physical engineering.
- GenePool - Artificial Life simulation
- Phun - Physics Engine based constructor. Tool to build, play and learn.
- Webots - A complete simulation suite of cosumer und football robot, including AIBO and others. Extended, but we won't recommend that way of working. Better start out building your own bot following the BEAM-approach or use URBI.
- Isotope2 and Isotope3 - A small flash-toy on rotating objects
- FantasticContraption - A puzzle-game with a physics game engine, that supports constructing skills
- LightBot - A neat flashgame, where you have to program a little robot. Read more at the Eggshell-Blog
Control
- URBI - Universal Realtime Behavior Interface
- Robolab - from Lego for constructing Lego-robots
- LABview - a data-flow suite
- Microsoft Robotics Studio - Developmentsuite for building and developing robots.
- Picaxe Microcontroller and Basic- or Dataflow Proramming environment. Also note the Picaxe-Forum
- Nodal - For learning advances generative music-concepts. Sends out MIDI-Data, maybe future releases will be more flexible. Currently available for OS X only.
Sensory, Analysis
- Bildanalyse - List of Software that does kinds of picture- and videoanalysis.
