Robot Simulator

We are trying to design robots that can move in any direction in a lattice structure. Each robot is driven by a single actuator. We want to understand the collective behavior in simulation first before manufacturing the robots in real life.

The simulation platform serves a test bed to iterate the control strategies and algorithms as well as the physical design of the robots

The simulator uses Box2D physics engine
