Dependencies

Assimp

Assimp is a library used for import of 3D models. It provides a common interface for different formats. RobWork will currently use it to load .obj files or COLLADA (.dae) files, but might be used for more in the future.

Boost

Boost

Boost is the most important library used by RobWork.

Boost Software License

csgjs-cpp

csgjs-cpp is a library used for Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG). The library is used in RobWork for synthesis of fingers.

Distributed with RobWork under: RobWork/ext/csgjs

csgjs-cpp is a C++ port of the original csgjs project <https://github.com/evanw/csg.js> .

Warning

PQP is only for non-commercial use only!

If this is a problem, consider using the FCL based proximity implementations in RobWork instead.

Yaobi

Yet Another OBB-Tree Implementation (Yaobi) is a library used for collision detection for triangle meshes.
