/python-robot-sim

A python-based articulated robot simulator built from first-principles robotics using PyQt4/OpenGL.

Primary LanguagePython

This is an initial README file for the python-robot-sim project. I'll be using this project to gradually build up an articulated robot simulator in python using Qt and OpenGL for GUI and graphical elements, respectively.

I will document the development as part of my personal blog, with each blog post being linked to a specific commit for easy access to the code I'm writing about as detailed below:

  1. First Steps with python + Qt + OpenGL: Creates a simple Qt and OpenGL application to render and manipulate a cube.
  2. Initial Simulator Graphics in OpenGL: Extends the previous application to render basic simulator graphics and adds a user-controlled camera.
  3. 3D Geometry for Robotics: Introduces theory for representing object pose and a python module for basic 3d geometry.
