[comp.edu] Needed: Robot Arm Simulator Software

masticol@sabbath.rutgers.edu (Steve Masticola) (03/18/88)

Hi,

The computer science department here at Rutgers is interested in
finding a supported graphic robot arm simulator package for use on Sun
workstations (preferably) or as a standalone box. We'd be using it for
a grad class in robotics. 

It would be nice if small, simple objects (blocks) could be put into
the robot's environment and manipulated by the robot. If the package
included some kind of vision output, and warning outputs when the arm
intersected itself or anything else in the environment, that would be
of great help also.

If you are aware of such a package, please reply by email and let me
know what you know. (Including vendor name/address/telno, if you have
them.) 

Thanks for your help!
