coordination of <br>several robots trying to accomplish a task, such as rescue of survivors <br>in a disaster area or localization of other targets.<br>The library is not well polished enough, and we are working on setting <br>up a repository using Launchpad, but still figuring out the best way to <br>go about it. Concurrent work on .blend files is posing a problem, even <br>if we are only two developers now.<br>Regarding the cameras, it is possible to use several of them at once, if <br>no data conversion is done with them. That is, if we export images in <br>the native format used by Blender: a single string with the image <br>encoded as chars with the RGBA values.<br>I tried converting the data to other formats within Blender, but that <br>made the simulation too slow.<br><br>We are aiming to have a usable example of the simulation in a practical <br>scenario by mid
