V-REP and AI

Post by amattag »

Hello,

I am planning to use V-REP as the simulator in my PhD thesis that involves Artificial Intelligence.
Can I integrate programs written in such programming languages as Lisp or Scheme in V-REP?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hello,

You have different possibilities to do that:
  • Have your program interface and call the remote API shared library (in that case, your language has to support native C calls). Or you can write a List/Scheme binding for the remote API
  • Have your program use the ROS interface (not sure if ROS is supported for Lisp or Scheme)
  • If Lisp/Scheme can be compiled into a shared library, then you could write a plugin for V-REP.
  • Or you can have your Lisp/Scheme program communicate with V-REP via a custom socket communication
Refer also to the demo scene "ControlTypeExamples.ttt", and also have a look at this page of the user manual.

Cheers
