The iCub Humanoid Robot Simulator

Abstract

Abstract — The authors present the prototype of a new computer simulator for the humanoid robot iCub Fig. 1 (a). The iCub is a new open-source humanoid robot developed as a result of the RobotCub project [1], a collaborative European project aiming at developing a new open-source cognitive robotics platform. The iCub simulator has been developed as part of a joint effort with the European project iTalk on the integration and transfer of action and language knowledge in cognitive robots. This is available open-source to all researchers interested in cognitive robotics experiments with the iCub humanoid platform. C I.
