What is it?
PyRoboSim is a 2D simulator for mobile robots, aimed at prototyping high-level robot behaviors before moving to hardware or a full 3D simulation environment. It is written in Python and provides a simple world in which robots can navigate and interact with objects.
The simulator can run standalone, and it also offers an optional ROS 2 interface so that software built against ROS 2 can be exercised against the simulated robot. Documentation covers setup, usage, and core concepts.
The project is maintained as an open-source codebase with a contributor guide and automated test suite.
