Physically-accurate robotics simulator
Project description
ARS: Autonomous Robot Simulator
===============================
.. image:: https://pypip.in/d/ARS/badge.png
:target: https://crate.io/packages/ARS/
ARS is a physically-accurate open-source simulation suite for research and
development of mobile manipulators and, in general, any multi-body system. It
is modular, easy to learn and use, and can be a valuable tool in the process
of robot design, in the development of control and reasoning algorithms, as
well as in teaching and educational activities.
It will encompass a wide range of tools spanning from kinematics and dynamics
simulation to robot interfacing and control.
The software is implemented in Python integrating the
`Open Dynamics Engine (ODE) <https://sourceforge.net/projects/opende/>`_
and the `Visualization Toolkit (VTK) <http://www.vtk.org/>`_.
Installation and Requirements
-----------------------------
For installation instructions and requirements, see the
`online documentation <http://ars-project.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation/>`_.
ARS relies in these software:
* Python 2.7
* ODE (Open Dynamics Engine) 0.12 (from rev 1864 could work but is untested) with Python bindings
* VTK (Visualization Toolkit) 5.8 with Python bindings
* NumPy 1.6
Provided ODE and VTK are already installed, execute this to get ARS up and running:
.. code-block:: bash
$ pip install ARS
Documentation
-------------
The documentation is hosted at
`ReadTheDocs.org <http://ars-project.readthedocs.org>`_
and it is generated dynamically after each commit to the repository.

Tests
-----
To run the included test suite you need more packages (``tox`` and ``mock``):
.. code-block:: bash
~/ars$ pip install -r requirements_test.txt
~/ars$ tox
