# RotorPy
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RotorPy is a simple dynamics simulator for teaching aerial robotics planning and control and preliminary probing of interesting research questions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It was developed initially to cater to the University of Pennsylvania aerial robotics class, and so it has unique aspirations.
|
||
|
|
* Small. Unlike a black box simulator, the engine is intended to be transparent from top to bottom to a student of robotics.
|
||
|
|
* Easy to install. Dependencies are minimized to ensure easy native installation on Linux, Windows, and Mac.
|
||
|
|
* Pedagogical. Structure and notation mirror course content, and documentation should be precise.
