2-D Multi Robot Simulator

2-D Multi Robot Simulator (2D-MR-Sim)

This project is an extension of 2D-VSR-Sim [1,2].

With respect to 2d-VSR-Sim, 2D-MR-Sim:

• allows to simulate more kinds of robots (not only Voxel-based Soft Robots);
• better models the concept of modularity;
• is decoupled from the inner physics simulator.

Usage

Add (at least) this to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.ericmedvet</groupId>
    <artifactId>mrsim2d.core</artifactId>
    <version>0.8.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.ericmedvet</groupId>
    <artifactId>mrsim2d.engine.dyn4j</artifactId>
    <version>0.8.1</version>
</dependency>

See 2D-robot-evolution, that uses 2d-MR-Sim, for a more detailed documentation.
