On *October 10, 2020 at 1:00 CT*, DPRG will host presentations on two robot
simulators: ColleliaSim and LFS-2.

*To attend: *

• Join Hangouts Meet: https://meet.google.com/hey-jxuo-esf
• Join by phone ‪+1 405-586-5598‬ ‬ PIN: ‪682 931 335 #‬

*ColleliaSim* is a robot simulator that has its own IDE. Based on a
distributed control architecture, ColleliaSim, allows each object/model to
be controlled by several methods: embedded script, plugin, ROS or BlueZero
node, remote API client or a custom solution. Controllers can be written in
C/C++, Python, Java, Lua, Matlab or Octave. CoppeliaSim can be used for
fast algorithm development, robotics related education, industrial
automation simulations, and much more. Details can be found at
 https://www.coppeliarobotics.com/ <https://www.coppeliarobotics.com/>.

Chris Netter, a frequent attendee to DPRG’s Tuesday night RBNV virtual
meeting, used ColleliaSim to simulate and develop his competition fire
fighting robot. He will present an overview of ColleliaSim and discuss the
simulation of his robot.

*LFS-2* is a 2D line following simulator created by DPRG member, Ron Grant.
Ron introduced LFS-1 earlier this year as a method for members to develop
algorithms to solve line following courses. It  generated much interest,
and the idea that DPRG could hold a virtual Line Following contest later
this year. Ron took the inputs from DPRG members and has developed LFS-2.
He will present the new look of LFS-2, the added features, and how to setup
your robot to start experimenting. LFS-2 uses the Processing language, the
parent of the Arduino IDE. Processing can be found at
https://processing.org/ .
