Re: aibo API

Hi,

> Simulation(controllers).run() from outside Webots?
The robot controllers in Webots are linked with Controller.jar which is 
connected to Webots and calls the run() method of your controller. But 
if you link your controller with your own version of Controller.jar, you 
could run your controller outside Webots. But I don't see you would need 
to do that. Or I didn't understood your question?

No, this is not possible in Webots unless you parse the roboka.wbt file. 
Webots is a realistic simulator in the sense that it will let you do 
what you only can do with a real robot.

Yes, I can develop such a world for you and put it on the web. Would you 
simply need that I remove all the obstacles, except the surrounding wall 
and the two chargers from the current roboka.wbt world? If we remove the 
surrounding walls, the robots may fall off the stage...

Let me know and I will do it!

Not directly, but you know Aibos can walk ;)
