program, and simulate robots, vehicles, and mechanical systems.\nIt is a beginner friendly software that is meant to introduce newcomers to the world of robotics.\n\n\n- See the [Webots introduction video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7U3sX_ubGc).\n- View online Webots simulations at [webots.cloud](https://webots.cloud).\n\n### Download\n\nGet pre-compiled binaries for the [latest release](https://github.com/cyberbotics/webots/releases/latest), as well as [older releases and nightly builds](https://github.com/cyberbotics/webots/releases).\n\nCheck out installation instructions and FAQ's:\n\n\n\n\n\n### Building from Source\n\nIf you prefer to compile Webots from source, instructions can be found in the [wiki](https://github.com/cyberbotics/webots/wiki) and [contributing guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md).\n\n### Continuous Integration Nightly Tests\n\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n\n\n### Updating Webots\n\nInformation about how to update installed versions of Webots can be found [here](https://cyberbotics.com/doc/guide/upgrading-webots).\n\n### Tutorials\n\nFor those unfamiliar with Webots or robotics simulations, in-depth tutorials can be found [here](https://cyberbotics.com/doc/guide/tutorials).\nThese tutorials are beginner friendly and are each focused towards a precise educational objective.\nThey try to make robotics simulations accessible and fun for all and are an excellent resource to use for any questions or usage of Webots.\n\n### Bugs\n\nWebots supports a large variety of different use cases, and we cannot address every bug within the application.\nA list of known bugs and workarounds that will not be fixed in the short-term can be found [here](https://cyberbotics.com/doc/guide/known-bugs).\nAn exhaustive list of all known bugs can be found [on GitHub](https://github.com/cyberbotics/webots/issues).\nIf you find a new bug, please report it [here](https://github.com/cyberbotics/webots/issues/new/choose).\n\n### About us\n\nWebots was originally designed at [EPFL](https://epfl.ch) in 1996 as a research tool for mobile robotics.\nIn 1998, it began being developed and commercialized by [Cyberbotics](https://cyberbotics.com).\nIn December 2018, Webots was open sourced.\nSince then, [Cyberbotics](https://cyberbotics.com) continues to develop Webots thanks to paid customer support, training, and consulting for industry and academic research projects.\n\n[Contact us](mailto:info@cyberbotics.com) to discuss your custom robot simulation projects and any additional comments, concerns, or developments you may have for our project!","github_created_at":"2018-11-05T14:09:10+00:00","created_at":"2026-07-11T12:22:43.087712+00:00","updated_at":"2026-07-31T06:00:21.270339+00:00","categories":[{"slug":"computer-vision","name":"Computer
