ICEA European project started New release of the GATE interface to Matlab
Cyberbotics takes part in a consortium of 10 European partners involved in a IP European research project called ICEA (Integrating Cognition, Emotion and Autonomy). The project started on January 1st, 2006 and will last 4 years, using Webots as a common research tool. The project aims at developing and using an artificial rat (including a simulated model and a real robot). Hence we plan to develop new features in Webots, including active whiskers, metabolism, olfaction, etc. as well as a benchmark for demonstrating our research results. Harm Aarts has recently updated the GATE package to resolve some quirks and bugs. GATE is a nice Java interface between Matlab and Webots. The new version provides a greater robustness and a bit more documentation. It has been included on the Webots CD-ROM and can also be downloaded from: http://www.lce.hut.fi/~harm/gate1.1.tar.bz2
Floating license server for Windows Aibo software released as open source software
The Webots floating license server (lserv) is now also available for Windows, in addition to the Linux and Solaris versions. A Mac OS X version is currently under development and will be available soon. Although Sony recently announced they will cancel the production and development of the Aibo robots, Cyberbotics will keep supporting Webots / Aibo users. The RCServer software which runs on the Aibo robot on the top of the OPEN-R software layer will be released as an open source software. This will allow users to adapt it to their own model of Aibo and possibly extend it to suit their needs. Please contact us to get this software.
