[Robotics] project material

[Thatipalli, Amit Raj (S&T-Student)]

yes,my research is in this field. i am developing a simulator for 5 axis cnc machine(laser deposition) with 4 level collision check.this is  the thesis topic for  my grad school.i have already played around with blender a lot.i  have some simple material removal and material addition codes.but the problem is speed,is there a way to use the ik system and bullet out side of blender game engine?
                                                                                                                                                                                          amit

So, you found the right team! :-) The reason why most people are on this
list is exactly because Blender already provides a lot of these things, we
"just" have to make them more accessible/appropriate for robotics people...
It's not that difficult to add dynamics to the robots in Blender for
example; "not that difficult" = 1/2 man year. Blender's collision engine
Bullet is one of the better ones in the field. Material removal and
addition is also there. But not yet integrated enough for the typical
roboticist...
