Cant load swarm robot ttm model file on latest coppelia simulator version
Posted: 24 Mar 2020, 17:15
Hi,
I'm an electronic tech at Aberdeen University helping a lecturer set up a new robotics course part of which involves simple swarm robots called Kilobots. The Kilobots were designed by Harvard university and some info on them can be found here
https://www.k-team.com/mobile-robotics-products/kilobot
On the downloads option of that page I see vrep ttm scenes and models for the bots but they were written for vrep 3,0 and when I try to load them to the latest Coppelia simulator I get the following error message "This serialisation version is not supported anymore please convert this file"
I googled this and some guy was saying that he happened to have a really old version of vrep on a laptop and he was able to update it from there.
I would really appreciate if someone could suggest how to upgrade these as I am a complete starter with this stuff and also need to keep things relatively simple for the students who will be studying kinematics etc on this course.
Cheers,
Ian
