One of the main interests of the software is the possibility to export directly programs to the actual robot thanks to RoboDK Post Processors. It is then easy to visualize root behavior for a specific movement. It offers an intuitive interface that do not require high programming skills. It has a wide range of CAD model library based on more than 500 professional industrial robots and tools.

It is available for free (trial version) and purchase at RoboDK website. It runs on either Windows, Linux, Mac OS, Raspberry or Android. RoboDK is an offline programming and simulation software mainly used for industrial robots. Many experts consider it as the best robotic simulator. Finally, robots, sensors and environment can be controlled through custom plugins. Besides the large range of robots, any robot can be imported using SDF format. The software can also generate sensor data, from different imported sensors or cameras. Thanks to OGRE (Object-oriented Graphics Rendering Engine), the software provides realistic rendering of environments, for instance high-quality lighting, shadows and textures. It is well integrated with ROS, flexible, provides accurate simulation with four different physical engines (ODE, Bullet, Simbody and DART) and benefits from a large and active community. It is designed to accurately reproduce the dynamics of the complex environments a robot could encounter. It runs on Linux (even if protected versions for Windows are available). Gazebo is one of the most popular multi-robot simulators, firstly developed in 2004, fully open-source and supporting a wide range of sensors and objects.

A - Introduction of main robotic simulators Gazebo This section aims at introducing and comparing main robotic simulators. These simulators enable to test some programs or robot movements without stopping production or cause damage. Robotic simulators software help to program robots offline.
