The research team Defrost at the INRIA Lille in France is developping a plugin for Sofa, dedicated to the control and simulation of soft robots: <em><strong>SoftRobots<\/strong>. <\/em>By using Sofa and the SoftRobots plugin, you get access to a simulation plateform that can allow you to simulate at the same time the robot and its environment.<\/p><p>Both Sofa and the plugin include many templates and examples to make your start in Sofa more intuitive. Specifically for the Tripod, you will find different tutorials in the plugin: an introduction to Sofa named FirstSteps and a tutorial on the simulation of the robot named Tripod.<\/p><p>For the installation of Sofa and the SoftRobots plugin, we invite you to follow these links to the websites of the framework &amp; of the plugin:<\/p><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sofa-framework.org\/download\/\">Installing Sofa<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/project.inria.fr\/softrobot\/install-get-started-2\/\">Installing the SoftRobots plugin<\/a><\/li><\/ul><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>Once you have installed Sofa, you can launch the FirstSteps tutorial (located in the plugin <i>SoftRobots\/docs\/tutorials\/FirstSteps<\/i> in the scene <i>firststeps-tuto.pyscn<\/i>). This tutorial will help you to understand the basis of object modelling with Sofa, while also helping you getting more familiar with the interface of Sofa.
