Installation and Introduction to Webots | Make your first custom world in minutes

Interested in Robotics and Simulation and feel the spark..!!??
Curious to learn how to setup your own environment in a simulator like webots..!!? Then probably you are at the right place. This is a video from Soft_illusion Channel which aims to help the robotics community.
The video begins with the description and installation of Webots. It then progresses towards getting started and feeling comfortable with the software. The video completes with a detailed explanation of setting up a basic environment.

This video shows how Webots can be downloaded and installed for any operating system such as Ubuntu, Windows etc. Different worlds are opened and shown how the different objects or robots in the world can be tweaked; along with changes in the controller code of the robot. Examples such as the Spot robot from Boston Dynamics, Rumba, humans/pedestrians, drones etc have been used to make the user comfortable with Webots. A custom world is also made in the form of a garden scene.
As an initial step before diving into Webots, it is important to understand it’s importance and what sets it apart from other simulators like Gazebo and NVIDIA Isaac. User friendly, easy to learn and implement on custom robots and applications are not the only pros. For those who understand the intricacy involved, this software is easy to integrate with ROS, multi-threading is possible and an amazing tool for multi agent navigation.
Wait, that’s not all..!! Good news for Reinforcement learning fans..!!! OpenAI Gym blends well with Webots.
If the above information triggers any thought, please feel free to comment to initiate discussions not only on Gazebo or NVIDIA Isaac but also robotics in general.
Robotics is not difficult..! It is inspiring and challenging..!! We are in the current era of the Robotics Revolution, where Disco will be the name of a pet robot not dog.
This channel is driven with a motive to provide good robotics tools to aid everyone gain a good and simple understanding of this so-called complex robotics domain. Hopefully this will build the bridge to turn the novel ideas of viewers into reality.
Below are links to help you get started with any webots project.
Webots tutorial playlist:
• Setting Up environment...
The tutorials begins with the basic installation of the simulator, and ranges to higher level applications and actuator (linear/rotor) control.
Comment if you have any doubts on the above video.
Also do make suggestions if you need a tutorial on any other project topics.
Do Share so that I can continue to make many more videos with the same boost. :)
Happy Coding. :)

Got it! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@markusbuchholz3518]

Webots project is not only outstanding but also unbelievable master of pieces. I have long experience in SW dev, robotics and ROS but I have not seen before such remarkable initiative in promotion rather challenging robotics domain. State-of-the-art approach in popularisation of the beauty. Soft illusion YT channel is awesome and will grow very fast. Thanks for your great and impressive effort. Thanks and have a nice day!

[@coolrobotics]

Thank you very much Markus Buchholz.

Can u plz say how to enable the readings of distance sensors to see in console

[@robolearn5639]

Hello sir , I have a question is there any way that we can import extra sensors like temperature sensors , ph sensors or make new sensors in webots is it possible? How do I get temperature of a particular thing in webots ! Please help🙏

[@coolrobotics]

This is a very good question...
You can get a better answer from webots developers.
Kindly go to cyberbotics website and message on their discord group.
They reply pretty quickly.

@@coolrobotics I asked this question in the discord yesterday but didn't get any response yet ! Sir we have to design a irrigation system in webots does it possible to make fluid flow in webots I know about fluid node in webot but by giving stream velocity 1 it doesn't seem flowing

Hello, thank you for the video is there a way to autogenerate worlds so, the wbt files?

[@coolrobotics]

What do you exactly mean by auto generated.
If you are talking about different configuration of a room or a factory.
Then I suggest a hack of making a world saving it.
Changing the configuration of room save as new world and so on.
On the other hand webots also have many worlds you can check them out.
Hope this helps ...

[@DruidpathXo2]

@@coolrobotics to clarify I meant creating a file in the configuration file then using that dynamically created file

[@coolrobotics]

I suppose that is not possible....
You can look into supervisor in webots ...
Maybe it will help

[@myth537]

Can we export the webots world model into ROS's gazebo?

[@coolrobotics]

Mostly no

[@gamingwithhemend9890]

Bro... I need the code...!! . Pleasee bro🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@coolrobotics]

What code.
Do you need the .wbt file ?

[@coolrobotics]

Do you need the .wbt file ?

[@gamingwithhemend9890]

Because I am doing it for my assignment
