APMRover2 simulation with MORSE

Posted by zach w on March 10, 2015 at 5:37am

Hello.

I set myself a challenge of hooking up APMRover2 to a car simulated in MORSE and it seems to work so I thought I'd write about it. Might be interesting to someone.

MORSE is a robot simulator based on Blender's Game Engine. MORSE is different to JSBSim in that it has rigid body physics (though I never ran JSBSim, I didn't find anything about collision support).

Here's a video of the simulation. The source is on github and also some words about setup.

    I have only just seen this post! That is absolutely awesome.  Rover didn't use JSBSim - only Plane did.  The current Rover simulator is written in Python.  This should be great - very excited.  I will be trying this out!!!

    Thanks, Grant.

      Thanks to Sean O'Brien the university intern who is working with Tridge and myself I now have this up and running on my laptop.  I spent last night driving around running into blocks laughing myself silly.  Excellent fun.  We will post more soon.

      Thanks, Grant.

      Great work! I hope it wasn't too much trouble. I look forward to reading more about your experience.

    Thanks for sharing. I have been meaning to try something similar with Unity3D

    I wish i had more time right now for tinkering.

    Will probably be able to give it a go on the weekend :)
