Introduction to Nodes | Webots Simulator | [Tutorial 2]

Interested in Robotics and Simulation and feel the spark..!!??
Curious to learn how to set up custom nodes in a simulator like webots..!!? Then probably you are in the right place. This is a video from Soft_illusion Channel which aims to help the robotics community.
The video begins with basic building blocks of Webots. Then we look at different types of nodes. The video completes a detailed explanation and stepwise making of simple nodes which will be helpful in making complex shapes.

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 a dog.
This channel is driven with a motive to provide good robotics tools to aid everyone gains 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.

Comment if you have any doubts about 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. :)

I request you please keep making more tutorials for Webots or gazebo. please dont stop you are an amazing teacher

[@coolrobotics]

Thank you for the encouraging words. It keeps me going. If you like the videos, do share with your friends.

The two spheres I made just fall through the floor, is there a way to fix this? I want them to stay on the floor.

[@coolrobotics]

You did not add a bounding object to sphere. Try defining it.
It should work fine....

[@karlosiljeg1486]

@@coolrobotics Thank You so much! It works perfectly now

My Webots is R2023b and it doesnt have any option of scaling in solid. DO you know the reason?

[@shripalmehta]

use a Transform Node, and put your solid as its child. Transform Node has scale properties.
