Webots 6.1.0 released!
Webots
 Webot 6.1.0 is available for download for Linux 32, Linux 64, Mac OS X and Windows! This new version adds new features and fixes a number of bugs of the previous version (6.0.1). It introduces a new Display device to simulate a screen on which the robot controller can draw any text or graphics, adds support for a native Matlab programming interface for the robot and supervisor controllers, includes sample simulations used in the Cyberbotics' Robot Curriculum as well as a new model of the Nao robot (V3) and associated Robotstadium simulation setup. The complete change log is available here.

Cyberbotics' Robot Curriculum
Cyberbotics' Robot Curriculum Nicolas Heiniger completed the Cyberbotics' Robot Curriculum during his master thesis and published it as a wiki book. This book is intended to students, teachers, hobbyists and researchers interested in intelligent robots. It helps understanding what robots are and how to program them. It is illustrated by the use of Webots and the e-puck robot. It includes two parts: a short theoretical part and a longer practical part. The practical part is composed of one chapter about the computer configuration and five chapters of exercises corresponding to five levels of difficulty from simple obstacle avoidance to Self Localization and Mapping (SLAM). After reading this book, the reader should be able to design his/her own intelligent robots. You are welcome to contribute to this book which is released under a copyleft license agreement.
Robotstadium competition about to start again!
Nao Robocup soccer
 The 2009 edition of the robotstadium competition, based on the Nao robot and the Standard Platform League (SPL) of the RoboCup soccer competition, is about to start with the release of Webots 6.1.0! The simulation includes a completely redesigned and improved robot model corresponding to the new V3 Nao robot which includes two cameras instead of one, an improved referee implementation (including an improved throw-in rule). The robotstadium simulation has also been optimized regarding the foot sensors of the robot and it overall runs now approximately 10% faster than the previous simulation.
