Abstract : Movements are an important part of robot design and we need dedicated tools to design them. As previous research has shown, 3D animation techniques are of great use to animate a robot. However, most robots don't benefit from an animation tool and therefore from animation artists knowledge. We present an open-source robot animation software to address this issue and describe some principles for designing a robot animation software derived from the specificity of robot as a medium.
