V-REP is Virtual Robot Experimentation Platform. The Virtual Reality Education Pathfinder (VREP) is an educational initiative that creates an ever-growing consortium of schools and businesses committed to bringing a new kind of learning and teaching to schools across the country. VREP works by capturing student interest through the use of Virtual Reality and 3D. Students within the software are offered high school credit for their work and gain valuable study, computer, and technical reading skills as well as the capability to communicate, problem solve, work in teams, collaborate, manage their time, and access resources to accomplish important goals and objectives.

V-REP Features:
1. Full collision detection module, allowing fast interference checking between any geometries or collection of geometries, with optional collision contour calculation.
2. Minimum distance calculation module, allowing fast minimum distance calculation between any geometries (convex, concave, open, closed) or collection of geometries.
3. Full forward/inverse kinematics calculation module, allowing handling any type of mechanism (branched, closed, redundant, containing nested loops, etc.)
4. Geometric constraint solver module, allowing to intuitively solve/actuate/interact with mechanisms
5. Path planning module, allowing holonomic and non holonomic path planning tasks
6. Powerful, customizable and fast dynamics calculation module, allowing to simulate near to real-world object interactions.
7. Powerful, realistic and exact proximity sensor simulation, fully customizable
8. Simulation of camera-like sensors with image processing abilities, fully customizable
9. Simulation of force and torque sensors, with a reakable?option.
10. Simulation of cutting operations using mill objects
11. Various types of joints (revolute-, prismatic-, screw- or spherical-type)
12. Path or trajectory functionality for elaborate kinematic movements
13. Script-driven, fully customizable behavior, also at low level.
14. Unlimited number of scripts operating at the same time, non-threaded or threaded (threaded scripts operate flawlessly also on single-core CPUs).
15. Minimal or no programming required for simple simulations.
16. Support for extension modules (i.e. plugins).
17. Fully customizable client software loop.
18. Fully customizable user interface elements with integrated edit-mode
19. More than 250 clean and fine-grained API functions, available from the C/C++ and Lua side (wrappers can make them available to other languages too)
20. Fully integrated edit mode for robot/mechanism/scene edition (triangle edit mode, vertex edit mode, edge edit mode, custom user-interface edit mode, path/trajectory edit mode, etc.)
21. 4 in-parallel running simulator instances sharing a same copy buffer.
22. Full interactivity during simulation
23. Full copy/paste functionality, not just for objects, but also for their associated behavior (programs), also during simulation
24. Model self-duplication or self-destruction ability (from within the model itself), together with associated calculation objects and scripts.
25. Exhaustive and comprehensive documentation
26. Compact scene and model files (one single compressed binary file containing all what is needed (objects and programs))
27. Powerful data recording, visualization and export functionality
28. Exhaustive CAD-data import and export file-format support (DXF, 3DS, OBJ, STL)
29. Built-in AVI recorder
30. Powerful and flexible wireless communication simulation and visualization
31. Customized drawing objects (points, lines, triangles, etc.). Allows simulation of paint, welding seams, etc.
32. Static and dynamic texturing
33. User-friendly model browser
34. Multi-level undo/redo
35. Objects and attached functionalities are fully scalable (resizable), also during simulation
36. Simulation speed control also during simulation
37. Compact and lightweight, with no dependency installations required, ideal candidate for embedding
38. Possibility to lock scenes from further edition/modification, script content viewing or resource export
39. Free V-REP PLAYER VERSION that allows you to distribute and play created scenes and models anywhere
40. Very high level of in-house technology development and/or implementation

The V-REP software is composed by several elements. Its main elements are:
1. A console window: when the V-REP software starts, a console window is created but directly hidden again. This default behavior of hiding the console window can be altered in the user settings dialog. The console window displays what extension modules were loaded and whether their initialization procedure was successful. The console window is not interactive and is only used to output information. The user can directly output information to the console window with the Lua print command (from within a script), or with the C printf or std::cout commands from within an extension module.

2. An software window: the software window is the software main window. It is used to display, edit, simulate and interact with a scene. The left and right mouse buttons, the mouse wheel as well as the keyboard have specific functions when activated in the software window. Within the software window the functions of the input devices (mouse and keyboard) may vary on context or activation location.

Limitations:
* You can use the for evaluation purposes for a maximum period of 1-2 months.
