Robot Simulator: First Walk in V-REP

This video demonstrates the newly implemented dynamics functionality of the Virtual Robot Experimentation Platform (V-REP: http://www.v-rep.eu ). In V-REP, a joint hybrid mode allows combining the inverse kinematics functionality with the forward dynamics functionality; in this demo, each foot follows a predefined path (i.e. joint motors don't have to be manually controlled). This demo runs without any custom code required. V-REP uses the "Bullet" physics library to generate its dynamics functionality. The robot CAD models in this scene are courtesy of Lyall Randell
