Originally it was meant to be used as a research tool to investigate various control algorithms in mobile robotics. In December 2018, Webots was open sourced. Since then, [Cyberbotics](https://cyberbotics.com) continues to develop Webots thanks to paid customer support, training, consulting for industry and academic research projects. We specialize in the development, rendering, and representation of robotic, mechanical, and vehicle systems through our application. Our many different uses include sensor-equiped autonomous vehicles, real-time image segmentation, fluid simulations for marine research, and much much more! + +![image](https://github.com/Remingtonewing/webots/assets/92884659/d1c41397-2945-496d-8c2d-dd717bf59ec2) +[caption](Real Time Sensor Visualization) +![image](https://github.com/Remingtonewing/webots/assets/92884659/7abd2e19-4625-40b8-847f-7a66c182ff93) +[caption](Fluid Simulation for Marine Robots and Research) -[Contact us](mailto:info@cyberbotics.com) to discuss your custom robot simulation projects. +[Contact us](mailto:info@cyberbotics.com) to discuss your custom robot simulation projects and any additional comments, concerns, or developments you may have for our project!
