News for the Webotsâ„¢ user community.		 January 2009
Webots 6.0.1 released!
Webots
 Webot 6.0.1 is available for download for Linux 32, Linux 64, Mac OS X and Windows! This new version fixes a number of bugs of the previous version (6.0.0), adds more possibilities to the free Nao / Robocup / robotstadium simulation model to reset the position of the robot and the ball (useful for iterative learning algorithms), improves the text editor with a new comment / uncomment feature, restores the selection status of the scene tree after a revert operation, etc. The full change log is available here. Please note that URBI support is broken since Webots 6.0.0. We hope to restore this in the next release of Webots to be made available in February.

Roombot modules simulations
Modular robots Michael Mayer and Alexandre Tuleu from the BIRG have developed nice simulations models for modular robots called Roombots. Each pair of modules composing a Roombot robot has 6 degrees of freedom, allowing them to self-configure robustly and create very interesting shapes autonomously. Their Webots simulations allowed them to explore the possible moves in space of these Roombot modules as well as inverse kinematics. A series of movies show the Roombot modules self-configuring into a chair, reaching different locations and orientations on the floor using inverse kinematics, etc. They also had to develop a Webots physics plug-in to handle the special shape of their modules for collision detection.
Nao Robocup soccer simulations
Nao Robocup soccer
 Giuseppe Certo from BIRG has developed a series of improvements and tools for the Nao Robocup soccer simulation. He used the motion editor provided with Webots 6 to create new motions, including a stand up motion for the Nao robot, various shoot motions and a very efficient goal keeper diving motion which is fired when the goal keeper robot detects the ball going towards one or the other side of the goal. He also contributed to improve the automatic referee by improving the throw-in system and implementing the illegal defender rule.
