Bioinspired Robotics and Vision with Humanoid Robots

This paper presents a free Java software platform which enables users to easily create advanced robotic applications together with image processing. This novel tool is composed of two layers: 1) Easy Java Simulations (EJS), an open-source tool which provides support for creating applications with a full 2D/3D interactive graphical interface, and 2) EjsRL, a high-level Java library specifically designed for EJS which provides a complete functional framework for modeling of arbitrary serial-link manipulators and computer vision algorithms. The combination of both components sets up a software architecture which contains a high number of functionalities in the same platform to develop complex simulations in robotics and computer vision fields.
