We are comparing two commercial robot simulation packages,
RobCAD from Tecnomatix, and IGRIP from Deneb, and are soliciting
comments from users of these packages. Our requirements:

   - Must simulate mobile robots in outdoor environments.
   - Must have a geometric modeling capability.
   - Must have provisions for sensor modeling.

If there are sufficient responses, I will summarize and post the
results to this newsgroup.

Thanks
