kandi X-RAY | webots Summary
Webots was originally designed at EPFL in 1996 and then further developed and commercialized by Cyberbotics since 1998. In December 2018, Webots was open sourced. Since then, Cyberbotics continues to develop Webots thanks to paid customer support, training, consulting for industry and academic research projects.

QUESTION
I am trying using Webots in combination with stable-baselines3 for reeinforcment-learning purpose. I tried using Webot with multiple instances, but connecting the controller to a specific one doesn't work. It mostly connects to the newest one. I wrote a runtime.ini giving the WEBOT_PID manually looking like
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Sep-09 at 06:35The WEBOTS_PID
environment variable should be set before you start the robot controller, otherwise it is not taken into account. So, you cannot set it in the runtime.ini
(which is anyhow ignored when launching extern controllers) nor in the controller itself. I would recommend you to write a script that sets the WEBOTS_PID
first and then starts the controller program as an extern controller.
QUESTION
I am trying to make a tic-tac-toe game in Webots.
I have 2 robot one that draw circle and the others draw crosses using the device "pen".
I need them to recognise when the other robot draws something, but the camera recognition seems to work only on solid.
Is there a way to make the camera recognise drawings ?
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jul-13 at 06:39You should use some image processing library, like OpenCV, to process the camera image and recognize whether a cross or a circle was drawn in a certain square. Using different colors for crosses and circles may also help the image processing to categorize these items efficiently.
QUESTION
I am trying to program Thymio-II using Python in Webots simulator. I have not understood how to access and control LEDs on Thymio-II. Are there any Python controller code examples for Thymio-II which would illustrate use of LEDs? Thanks!
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jun-30 at 07:02Take a look at this C example and you will understand how to access all the LEDs of the Thymio-II in Python:
QUESTION
I have a docker container that has Webots and ROS2 installed. However, running webots
while inside the container returns bash: webots: command not found
. Why?
webots
(but no ROS2)
Here's a container run from the Webots installation instructions that DOES successfully run webots
(but lacks ROS2 like I need):
ANSWER
Answered 2021-Mar-26 at 02:26When you have multiple FROM
commands, you're not "inheriting" both of their contents into the same image - you're doing a multi-stage build. This allows you to COPY
from that stage specifying the --from
option. By default, the last stage in your Dockerfile will be the target (so, in your example, you're only actually using the ros2 image. The webots image is not actually being used there.
You have two options here:
- Copy just the files you need from the webots image using
COPY --from=base
This will probably be hard and finicky. You'll need to copy all dependencies; and if they're acquired through your package manager (apt-get), you'll leave dpkg's local database inconsistent.
- Copy one of the
Dockerfile
s and change theirFROM
This will probably work fine as long as they both use the same base distribution. You can go into one of the project's repositories and grab their Dockerfile
, rebuilding it from the other image - just change, for example, cyberbotics/webots:R2021a-ubuntu20.04
's Dockerfile to have FROM niurover/ros2_foxy:latest
. It may require tinkering with the other commands there, though.
QUESTION
I'm doing a pick and place task using UR3 in webots. I need the robot to go to Pick position, grasp the object (close its fingers), and go to Place position. Something like following code:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jan-29 at 13:35There are different possibilities to achieve what you want. A simple one would be to introduce a time counter variable (you may need to adjust the 100 and 200 values depending on your TIME_STEP):
QUESTION
On my mac I switched python versions to 3.7 and when using the command python -V
in the terminal it shows that it successfully switched. Webots still shows that the deprecated 2.7 version is being used. When I checked the command, it says python
I've messed with creating a runtime.ini
as well, which seemed to work but doesn't recognize webot modules like "Controller," or "Robot." Though I can't find anything about what the module names would be and how I could include them in the Options for the runtime.ini
with the -m
flag.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Nov-16 at 18:51I was able to solve this by setting the absolute path, shown in the image link, to a valid version of Python 3 in the Webots->Preferences command field. I had a slight error with NumPy not coming with this version but was easily fixable by doing -m pip install NumPy
I hope this is helpful to others as it was the last thing I tried and cost me some time.
QUESTION
I downloaded Webots R2020a revision 1 and installed it on my Windows 10 machine. The first time I opened it, I got the following error message:
The problem persists on uninstalling and reinstalling the software.
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Nov-03 at 09:43It could be caused by several things:
- graphics card: Some old Intel graphics cards are not supported by Webots and may cause this kind of crash.
- graphics card driver: outdated drivers may cause such crashes. You should check that your graphics card driver is up-to-date.
- conflicting software: some third party software install some DLL in the Windows system32 folder (which is a bad practice) causing some conflicts with Webots if the DLL name is the same as some DLL used by Webots.
- your installation of Webots was somehow corrupted.
QUESTION
Error:
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Aug-22 at 16:21This should be a question of setting your environment variable(s) PATH (and possibly LD_LIBRARY_PATH) to the correct values. If you install SUMO via the package manager of your Linux (apt or something) there should be nothing to adapt. I see from the Webots docs that they recommend manual adaption of those paths. If you don't do those changes or revert them you should be always using the netedit coming with plain SUMO. If you want to use the Webots version adapt the paths such that they list Webots directories first.
QUESTION
I want to use opencv for a project for robot simulation. But I am having trouble with using it inside webots. I can't include it. I have the opencv version 4.30 and I changed my makefile to use the opencv but It doesn't work. Can You guys help me how can I add opencv to webots?
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Aug-11 at 05:51Here are some documentation about how to use external library with Webots controllers: https://cyberbotics.com/doc/guide/using-webots-makefiles?tab-language=ros#adding-an-external-library-ccp
You can also find an example of integration of OpenCV (not version 4.30 but you can for sure take inspiration) in a Webots controller here: https://github.com/cyberbotics/webots/tree/master/projects/samples/howto/controllers/vision
QUESTION
I am working on a project that two robot arms control a rope to play a toy. I want to first simulate it in webots. Each robot arm has a stick as the end-effector. And there is a rope connecting both the two sticks. However, in webots simulation, each robot(let's say UR5e) should be set as an independent node. How can I connect them using a rope?
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Jun-24 at 12:22I would use a Connector node to connect the end of the rope to the second robot stick.
