Chapter 7: Tutorial: Modeling and simulating your robot

The aim of this chapter is to provide several examples of robots, worlds and controllers. The first world is very simple; nevertheless it introduces the construction of any basic robot, and explains how to program a controller. The second example demonstrates how to model and use a camera on this simple robot. The third example will add physics to the robot and world, so that the robot can play with a ball. Finally, the fourth example will demonstrate how to build a virtual Pioneer 2^TM robot from ActivMedia Robotics.
