Detailed documentation can be found in the Manual.
I also wrote about this project for the Toptal Engineering Blog! Read more about the underlying principles of autonomous mobile robotics here.
Sobot Rimulator is cross-platform compatible. In order to run, the following two items must be installed on your computer:
- Python 2.6.1 or higher
- PyGTK 2.7 or higher
To install Python: The latest Python interpreter can be found at http://www.python.org/download/.
To install PyGTK: The latest PyGTK distributions can found at http://www.pygtk.org/downloads.html.
Alternatively, both pieces of software should be available through package managers such as Apt-Get (for Linux/Unix) or Homebrew (Recommended for Mac)
