Robotstadium competition results Webots 5.10.0 released!
Robotstadium The Robotstadium competition is now over (restarting this fall). 15 teams have participated in this competition, 8 were selected for the finals in RoboCup'08 and the results is the victory (120 MB movie) of CMRoboKids (Carnegie Mellon University, USA) after an incredible match versus Bothari (Europe). CMRoboKids wins a Webots PRO + URBI pack and a Nao robot.

Webots A new release of Webots is available for download on our web site. This new version adds native Python support as well as a new C++ object-oriented programming interface for programming robots. It also features a number of improvements in the BotStudio graphical programming system and fixes a number of bugs. The complete change log is available here.
Rat's Life competition results
 Bio-inspired flying robots
Rat's Life As anticipated, the Rat's Life competition ended with the victory of Ratatouille: a SLAM-enabled robot whose author received a Webots PRO pack. However, the transfer to the real world was not very straightforward and another contestant, named Ratchou won the real worlds final and received an e-puck robot (see movies). 41 teams have been actively participating in this contest so far. The next edition will be starting this fall.

Bio-inspired flying robots
 Jean-Christophe Zufferey recently published "Bio-inspired flying robots" at EPFL Press. This book demonstrates how bio-inspiration can lead to fully autonomous flying robots without relaying on external aids. The research of Jean-Christophe involves a number of Webots-based simulation of his Blimp and indoor slow flyer robots.
