They try to make robotics simulations accessible and fun for all and are an excellent resource to use for any questions or usage of Webots.

### Bugs

Webots supports a large variety of different use cases, and we cannot address every bug within the application.
A 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).
An exhaustive list of all known bugs can be found [on GitHub](https://github.com/cyberbotics/webots/issues).
If you find a new bug, please report it [here](https://github.com/cyberbotics/webots/issues/new/choose).

### About us

Webots was originally designed at [EPFL](https://epfl.ch) in 1996 as a research tool for mobile robotics.
In 1998, it began being developed and commercialized by [Cyberbotics](https://cyberbotics.com).
In December 2018, Webots was open sourced.
Since then, [Cyberbotics](https://cyberbotics.com) continues to develop Webots thanks to paid customer support, training, and consulting for industry and academic research projects.

[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!
