RobotDART is a C++ robot simulator (with optional Python bindings) built on top of the DART physics engine. The RobotDART simulator is intended to be used by Robotics and Machine Learning researchers who want to write controllers or test learning algorithms without the delays and overhead that usually comes with other simulators (e.g., Gazebo, Coppelia-sim).
