Overview
CoppeliaSim is a robotics simulation software built for prototyping, testing, and validating complex robotic systems. It's based on a distributed control architecture, allowing individual control of objects/models via embedded scripts (Python or Lua), plugins (C, C++), remote API clients (Python, Lua, Java, MATLAB, Octave, C, C++, Rust), or custom solutions. It supports multiple dynamic engines, including MuJoCo, Bullet Physics, ODE, Newton, and Vortex Dynamics, facilitating realistic physics simulations. CoppeliaSim is used for algorithm development, factory automation, fast prototyping, robotics education, remote monitoring, and safety double-checking. It's designed for researchers, engineers, educators, and hobbyists working in robotics, automation, and related fields.
