RoboThree

A lightweight simulation environment for robots

Introduction

RoboThree aims to be a very simple 3D simulation environment for robots.

It is JavaScript-based. The client side (the simulation environment) is implemented using jQuery, Three.js and other useful libraries (see Credits, below). The server side (robots' behaviors) is implemented using node.js and emulating an Espruino board. Nothing prevents from implementing the server side in other programming languages, as long as they can read and write data in JSON format and manage a very simple HTTP server.

Simulated robots can have virtual devices (like onboard cameras, a compass, etc.) and can be programmed at low or high level.

Setup

Info on the wiki page.

Classes and function

Documentation about classes and functions is available in the pages generated from source code comments, thanks to JSdoc.

Alternatives

RoboThree aims to be lightweight and very simple in its implementation. If you are interested in something more realistic (and more complex) you might try:
