The Modular OpenRobots Simulation Engine

OpenRobots Simulator

MORSE (Modular OpenRobots simulation Engine) is a Blender-based robotic simulator. It is a BSD-licensed project (cf LICENSE).

It is meant to be versatile (simulation of field robotics, indoor robotics, human robot interaction, multi-robots systems) and allow simulation at different levels (from raw cameras to high-level semantics).

The communication with the simulator is middleware independent. At the moment, MORSE supports the following middlewares:

• ROS
• Yarp
• pocolibs
• MOOS
• socket

Installation

Please read INSTALL or check the on-line installation instructions.

Documentation

The MORSE documentation is available from the doc/ directory. It is available as well online, on the MORSE website.

You can also subscribe to [email protected].

How to contribute

Even if the code-base is not stabilized yet, contribution to MORSE are more than welcome.

You can contribute new robot models, new sensors, we have a TODO list for the Blender game engine itself...

Feel free to subscribe to [email protected] and ask!

Code is available on GitHub.

Feel free to fork, pull request or submit issues to improve the project!
