Grasp simulation tool

155 Views Asked by At

I want to do some grasp motion planning experiments, but I failed with compiling the GraspIt! using VS2010 on Win7. Is there has other grasp simulation tool like GraspIt! that can be used in Win7 and VS2010 environment? Thank you!

I had been trying to install Graspit for Windows 7 too, but failed somehow and then switched to OpenRAVE. OpenRAVE is open source and provides an environment for testing, developing, and deploying motion planning algorithms in real-world robotics applications. The installation guide for Windows can be found here. There are a lot of quick start examples, which cover topics to help you get started with Inverse kinematics, testing a grasp, implementing planners and controllers. You could also work in a MATLAB, Octave or Python interface.

You can also find lots of relevant information on the OpenRAVE user mailing list, or ask questions when you need help.

I am running OpenRAVE on Ubuntu 12.04 though, and the installation was fairly easy.
