BowlerStudio

Co-Engineering platform for robots

BowlerStudio is a robot development application that combines scripting and device management with powerful control and processing features.

BowlerStudio brings a Configurable kinematics engine based on D-H parameters, A Fully Featured JCSG based Cad and 3d Modeling engine, and a Built in WebKit browser capable of viewing documentation and executing code directly from Github Gists. Scripting langauges supported:

Java/Groovy
Python
Clojure

Scripts can be loaded from your hard drive and modified using an editor of your choice, or loaded from Github gists for a truly "backed up in the cloud" coding experience.

BowlerStudio features the Creature Creator, a co-engineering interface that lets users generate robots with slide bars. The application will generate 3d printable STL's that will walk just like the generated robot on the screen.
