5.1 Overview

In Webots, a controller is a program, usually written in C, C++, Java or Python, that is used to control a robot. A Supervisor controller is a special controller that can be used to control some aspect of the simulation and of the robots it contains. In addition to controller programs, Webots functionnality can be extended by programming specialized plugins. You will find more information on the Supervisor node and on plugins programming in Webots Reference Manual.
