TRS: An Open-source Recipe for Teaching/Learning Robotics with a Simulator.

TRS is an open-source recipe for organizing a master-level robotics project, that I developed while creating INFO0948 at the University of Liège.

TRS relies on a cross-platform robot development and simulation environment that can be installed in five minutes and that allows students to write control, navigation, vision or manipulation algorithms in a hundred lines of Matlab or Python code. TRS contains a project structure (documentation, objectives, milestones), and the software skeleton for running the project (simulator models, Matlab code examples, install instructions). It is freely available and extendable.
