MORSE is a generic simulator for academic robotics

ROS navigation with a simulated PR2

MORSE is an generic simulator for academic robotics. It focuses on realistic simulation of small to large environments, indoor or outdoor, with one to over a dozen of autonomous robots.

Rich 3D environments

MORSE provides out of the box a large set of standard sensors (cameras, laser scanner, GPS, odometry,...), actuators (speed controllers, high-level waypoints controllers, generic joint controllers) as well as several robotic platforms (ATRV, generic 4 wheel vehicle, PR2,...). New ones can easily be added.

A quadrorotor and an ATRV

Besides generic socket-based APIs, MORSE fully integrates with standard robotic middlewares, including ROS and YARP.
