Could CoppeliaSim run without gui? I mean the program could communicate with remoteAPI like python or MATLAB normally but without a user interface.

Hello,
yes, you can start CoppeliaSim in headless mode with the -h
command line argument. You can also use the purely headless library,
coppeliaSimHeadless.dll (or similar), instead of
coppeliaSim.dll: in that case however, you won't be able to use vision sensors, unless they render via software, e.g. via the
pov-ray plugin. Eventually, you should also be able to perform remote rendering via a connection to a browser that acts as a rendering server.
In headless mode, you will then need to select one or several
means of communication with CoppeliaSim (WebSockets will be added for next release).
Cheers

Hello,
I wonder if I can start CoppeliaSim in headless mode with the -h command line argument in a cloud server?
