Best Practices for Implementing New Sensors?

[Qworg]

I wasn't able to find any information/tutorials on the best practices for implementing sensors of various types.

While I can simulate some of them like this (viewtopic.php?f=9&t=555&p=2393), I'd like some more information as to what's the general method.

Thanks!

Hello,

in V-REP, you can implement any type of sensor as long as they rely on elementary sensors and objects such as:

• proximity sensors
• vision sensors
• force/torque sensors
• joints
• shapes
• etc.

The idea is to combine several objects into a model, and add some child scripts to customize your sensor model's behaviour (e.g by adding some noise to your sensor, transforming the data in some other was, then handing the data over to other child scripts or external applications / external hardware)

Cheers
