Cyberbotics Webots Robot Simulator

Webots is a multi‑platform desktop application that lets users model, program, and simulate a wide range of robots and their environments. It includes a graphical interface for assembling scenes from an extensive library of robots, sensors, actuators, objects, and materials, and it supports importing CAD models from Blender or URDF as well as OpenStreetMap data for outdoor settings. The simulator runs the complete development workflow, allowing users to prototype, test, and validate control and AI algorithms within realistic physics‑based environments.

The software is aimed at professionals, educators, and researchers who need a stable, open‑source tool for robotics projects. Its asset library and support for various robot types—such as wheeled platforms, legged machines, industrial arms, drones, underwater vehicles, and aerospace systems—make it suitable for both academic curricula and industry development pipelines. Continuous maintenance by Cyberbotics since 1998 ensures compatibility with macOS, Windows, and Linux distributions.

Webots also offers optional online services for sharing models, running competitions, and receiving technical support. The core simulator is freely available, while additional professional services are provided on a subscription basis for users who require dedicated assistance or custom development.
