[Robotics] robotics example

[Breno Carneiro Pinheiro]

Hi all, the objective of this study is to simulate a robot during an
inspection on a hydroelectric dam. There will be nothing like Hardware in
Loop but only a simulation of the robot subject to buoyancy, hydrodynamic
drag. All the numerical values of those features must be obtained with a
simulation in ANSYS / CFX.

Finally, the simulation would be a form of 3D visualization of the mission
of the robot, and it is possible to run the control algorithm.

The control project is part of my PhD which starts this year. The simulation
could be done during an internship in yout laboratory for a few months, what
do you think? How should I proceed?

I study at the Federal University of Santa Catarina / Brazil. Some
professors here are well known in LAAS like prof. Jean Marie.

So, I came studying OROCOS, Player, among others, but I think Blender
robotics gives me more control of what I do ans it's better to make 3D
visualizations.

What do you suggest?

Thank you very much,

Breno
