Abstract

A growing number of robotics labs cooperate in the "Blender for Robotics" project [4], to integrate the open source computer animation program Blender into their research. In the first place as a visualisation tool, but gradually more and more as a full-fledged component in a robot simulation and programming environment. The lab in Leuven focuses on improving Blender support for the task specification and control of complex, sensor-based robot tasks, in which also the motion of the human(s) interacting with the task must be tracked.
