Thanks to everyone who responded to my original request for information on robotics shells. I would now like to find out if there are any competitors with CimStation in commercial or academic environments in the US or Europe or Japan. I will post this request world-wide. As in the original request for information the desired features are that the shell allow the specification of: operational environment robot's environmental representation sensor complement effector complement behavioral characteristics and provide graphical support for: parts interface, internal communication structure, major internal wiring commonents, 3-space movement, sensor coverage in 3-space. Design instantiation from parts database is desirable. N. Brown-- Nathon Brown UUCP: sun!sundc!potomac!nbrown Advanced Decision Systems Internet: nbrown@potomac.ads.com

Try Deneb robotics software. It is an easy to use product with a lot of features -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sarmad Adnan (adnan@rice.edu) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some people we work with at NASA Johnson have tried the DENEB software, and
have found that it's good for kinematics simulation, but not good for dynamics,
and not even good for kinematics if you want to interactively/manually cause
perturbations.
