Comparison of robotic simulators
[edit]The list of robotic simulator on this page is mostly useless (outdated, incomplete, inaccurate, does not reflect the maturity/importance of the different simulators in the community, etc...)
Comparison of Robotic Simulators is an on-going attempt at consolidating a serious comparison of robotic simulators. Please consider contributing to it. Skadge (talk) 15:37, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Edit COI: request to add ENCY Robot to the “Simulators” table
[edit] | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. Unclear request |
I propose adding "ENCY Robot" (an OLP/robotics simulator by ENCY Software) to the **General information** table. Independent sources:
- Engineering.com – ENCY ↔ DAMRC partnership (Mar 17, 2025): https://www.engineering.com/ency-software-damrc-partner-for-robotic-machining-technologies/
- 3Printr – same topic (Mar 17, 2025): https://www.3printr.com/cooperation-between-ency-software-and-damrc-advances-in-robot-assisted-machining-4279449/
- Optional: Robotics & Automation News (Mar 24, 2025): https://roboticsandautomationnews.com/2025/03/24/ency-software-and-damrc-partner-to-advance-robotic-machining-technologies/89386/
- Platform confirmation (non-controversial primary): https://encycam.com/download/
Proposed wikitext (table row):

Thanks! Aency (talk) 06:26, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
Not done for now: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. I can't get the proposed code to work immediately. Could you please perhaps create a "mockup" of what the table would look like with your proposed changes (perhaps in User:Aency/sandbox)? Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 04:54, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

- Thanks, @GoldRomean:. To keep the request narrow and verifiable, I’m proposing only one change in the *Simulators → General information* table (append a single row for “ENCY Robot”) and not touching the other tables for now, as we don’t yet have independent sources for those columns. Here is the exact “change X → Y” plus a working mockup.
- Change: append the following row (keeping alphabetical order if preferred):

- Mockup (renders correctly): User:Aency/sandbox#Robotics-sim-mockup
- If maintainers prefer that related tables are updated simultaneously, I can prepare minimal entries there as well, limited to verifiable fields (e.g., License/Platforms) and leave non-sourced fields blank (“–”). Thanks!

- Thank you! However, @Aency, was all or part of this request generated by artificial intelligence /LLM? GoldRomean (talk) 04:46, 12 October 2025 (UTC)
- @GoldRomean: I used limited tooling to help with wikitext formatting and wording. I’ve followed the AI-generated content guideline.
- Aency (talk) 08:34, 13 October 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know! (For the record and by the way, the page you linked is a proposed guideline, not an official one yet.) GoldRomean (talk) 17:07, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
Done If you're able to provide any info for the other tables as well that would be great! Thanks, Encoded Talk 💬 19:39, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
- @Encoded: Thanks! Below is the missing ENCY Robot data for the other tables.
