RaisimPy

RaisimPy is a nearly complete Python wrapper for raisim. It was initiated by Brian Delhaisse and now RaiSim Tech Inc. is continuing the development. RaisimPy is distributed under the MIT license (but it depends on raisim). The install instructions are given here.

The syntax of raisimPy is nearly identical to that of the C++ API except that it takes numpy arrays instead of Eigen vectors. Therefore, we do not provide a separate documentation for the python API.

You can check the difference between RaiSim C++ and RaiSimPy in the following example.

C++Python

#include "raisim/World.hpp"
#include "raisim/RaisimServer.hpp"

  auto binaryPath = raisim::Path::setFromArgv(argv[0]);
  raisim::World::setActivationKey(binaryPath.getDirectory() + "\\rsc\\activation.raisim");

  /// create raisim world
  raisim::World world;

  /// create objects
  auto ground = world.addGround();

  /// launch raisim server
  raisim::RaisimServer server(&world);
  server.launchServer();

  auto visSphere = server.addVisualSphere("v_sphere", 1.0, 1, 1, 1, 1);
