Webots Newsletter [January 2004] o Webots 4.0.19 released This new version of Webots is available for download from: http://www.cyberbotics.com/products/webots/download.html It introduces the capability to develop your own shared library using the ODE physics library for a better control on the simulated physics. Moreovoer, it fixes some important X11 issue under Linux and fixes several other minor bugs. The complete change log is available here: http://cyberboticspc1.epfl.ch/cdrom/common/doc/webots/ChangeLog.html o Humanoid Robot Judo contest After a small change in the physics of the robots, the humanoid robots are becoming more realistic. The last match between FreeTime (USA) and Astalavista (France) was great: FreeTime was tracking his opponent, walking towards him and trying to puch him. But Alstalavista was walking much faster than FreeTime and could avoid most FreeTime attacks. Result: Astalavista is now #1 while FreeTime is #2. We now have 37 teams engaged in the contest. o Cyberbotics to exhibit Webots at BioAdit and MIC conference We will have a small booth in these two conferences: BioAdit 2004: Biologically Inspired Approach to Advanced Information Technology.
