Editor & Simulator

- Facilitate the mapping between 3D meshes and physics engine objects for the purpose of mass/inertia and collision.
- Lets you interactively embed objects supported by the physics engine into 3D meshes, attach joints and constraints to the physics objects
- Save the “physically rigged” scenes into files, and run interactive simulations.

Remote control protocol

- Lets a remote "brain" control the robot/character through closed loop network protocol. EZPhysics sends the details of all the joint positions, collisions and disposition relative to the environment (IMU). The remote brain sends back commands to the robot/character's motors. The system allows finetuning and balancing the a fixed number frames per second vs. real-time performance.
- This makes it easier to develop complex controllers using Matlab or any programming language without needing to know anything about EZPhysics.
- This allows seamless transition to a real robot with same features as the simulated one (with an embedded computer and wireless interface) that can mimic the same protocol.

C++ API

- Lets you embed the “physically rigged” meshes into your 3D game or application. This involves using classes and methods for reading the rigged-models files and manipulating the physical aspects of the objects, such as applying torques and forces to joints. The API uses similar popular design patterns as Ogre.

Build

Bring your LDraw™ creations to life! The Virtual Robotics Toolkit has the ability to import files that are created using a number of free 3D modeling tools. Whether you are modeling using LEGO® Digital Designer™, MLCAD, or LDCad, simply import your model and prepare to be amazed. Within just a few short minutes you’ll be working with your own creation in a physics enabled simulation

Program

Then use the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 programming environment to write programs to control your virtual robot, just as you would the real thing. If you’re familiar with MINDSTORMS programming, you already know how to use our simulator. If you are new to LEGO® Robotics, don't worry, our training materials will turn you into a pro.

Simulate

The simulator's advanced physics engine affords an unparalleled level of realism. Experiment with how various physical forces act on your robot, change the friction on the playing surface, or mess with gravity to see how your robot would behave in a weightless environment.

Education With Simulation

Robotics is a great way to learn about programming, and an even more powerful tool for teaching STEM subjects.

Simulation is an effective means for understanding how physical concepts like force and motion come to play in real life.

No Robot, No Problem

Simulated robots are available 24 x 7, don't ever break, and are never missing parts.

With the Toolkit you can build and program your robot using the exact same tools you would use on the real thing — code you write for your simulated robot will also run in real-life.

Competitive Edge

The Toolkit makes it easy for your team to rapidly design and prototype your robot.

Why wait until your next meetup to see if your robot actually works? Import custom robot models from a variety of popular CAD tools such as LEGO® Digital Designer™ and begin experimenting instantly.

Robot Virtual Worlds is an advanced simulation software built around the powerful ROBOTC IDE. Users can program virtual LEGO Mindstorms NXT, EV3, VEX or TETRIX robots, either by using ROBOTC or visually via the Graphical Natural Language library extension, and observe their behavior in the 3D simulation environment which accurately renders these robots and their interactions. RVW was primarily designed as an educational tool however it is well suited for all levels of expertise – beginners can learn how to program these robots, teachers and students can use it for home or lab work, while advanced users can refine code or detect errors in their programming.

Several software extensions complement the feature set even further. For instance the Virtual Brick Emulator offers users a similar experience to that of programming an actual LEGO Mindstorms brick with NXT-G or LabVIEW. There are also extensions for creating custom levels, importing 3D models or measuring distances and trajectory angles around virtual environments.

RVW runs on Windows and is available in platform specific releasese. Free trial versions are available for download and licensing starts at US $49. There are also several apps available for iPad in which users can program VEX robots or play games with simulated robot behavior based on user programming.
