[Robotics] Simple mobile robotics scenario for unviersity

[Damien Jade Duff]

Dear All

I am sharing the simple mobile robotics scenario we created at our 
university, something like Morse (and based on some models from Morse), 
but a lot more cut-down.

It was created for educational purposes and is very simple, just 
leveraging the great Blender game engine. It enables students to solve 
simple problems in mobile robotics in Python (in particular, motion 
planning, control, and estimation). If we run the same course again next 
year, the only improvement envisaged is a small extension to handle 
multiple robots.

Any comments are of course welcome.

Instructions on use (need NumPy and SciPy and just need to edit a single 
Python module, UserController.py):

The course we used it for:
