Hi Kim,
thank you for your kind reply.
Yes, I think Webots is quite costly. And considering that we have a
remote robotic laboratory (named Teleworkbench) with which remote users
can have access to this facility and play around with the robot and
download program to the robot, we think that if we can provide a free
tool to do the simulation-real experiment process seamlessly, it would
be a great advantage for the users.
So, I am still thinking of how to get this idea works. And any opinion
from the robotic community will be very helpful.
wbr,
Andry

Hi Andry,
RoadNarrows is the US distributor of the Khepera robot.
RoadNarrows is a big advocate of open-source software and we think
that Pyro is great. So, if there is a Pyro effort to integrate the
Khepera programming environment (e.g. gnu c cross-compiler and tools)
so that you can download the code to the robot, we would really like
to support it!
We are also distributors of Webots, which is a robot
simulator/environment that provides a robot environment for
developing Khepera code in the simulator, debug, test, etc., then
allows you to download the code.
It is a well-supported software application, can run on Windows,
Linux, Mac, but unfortunately it is expensive and not open-source.
(see www.cyberbotics.com or www.roadnarrowsrobotics.com).
There is an old version of the predecessor to Webots, see
http://diwww.epfl.ch/lami/team/michel/khep-sim/ , but I have not tried
it.
Please let me know if you have any questions,
Best regards, Kim
