Robotic Simulation Software : V-REP

A lot of technologies have been developed over the years to robotize manufacturing processes. Today, there are many manufacturers and even more products to fulfill any need in robotics. Different integrations between products can be made in order to create the perfect robotic device for any intended application. For example, you could use a robot arm with an end effector installed on a mobile platform and make it move around the shop. But, since there are many different products on the market, it might be quite puzzling to find the right fit. Coppelia Robotics offers a great solution to simulate your robotic cell : V-REP, virtual robot experimentation platform.
