Webots is an open-source, multi-platform desktop application for modeling, programming, and simulating robots, vehicles, and mechanical systems with a built-in physics engine and 3D visualization. It has been maintained by Cyberbotics since 1998 and is widely used in industry, education, and research.
Use cases
- simulate robots before building hardware
- test autonomous vehicle algorithms in simulation
- learn robotics as a beginner
- simulate drones and flying robots
- integrate robot controllers with ROS or ROS2
- run robotics competitions online
- simulate lidar and camera sensors
- import URDF or CAD robot models
When to choose
- you need a full-featured, free robot simulator with a large asset library
- you want cross-platform support (Linux, Windows, macOS)
- you need ROS/ROS2 integration for robotics development
- you are teaching or learning robotics and want a beginner-friendly GUI
When to avoid
- you need real hardware-in-the-loop testing with physical robots
- you require ultra-high-fidelity physics beyond what Webots offers
- you only need lightweight 2D simulation
- you need a headless-only simulation pipeline without a desktop environment
