Boat in V-REP

Post by cabama »

Hello,

I'm developing a autonomous boat with ROS and I would like to know if it is posible building a boat model in V-REP.

Thank you very much,
cabama.

Hello Cabama,

yes, you can simulate a boat in V-REP. Basically for everything that involves objects in/under water, you should apply buoancy and drag forces yourself. This is not too complicated. Have a look at how things were done in the swimming snake model Models/robots/mobile/ACM-R5.ttm (but that robot next to the scene floor, and it will start swimming).

Cheers
