Use X3D interactive models to document robot actuators

omichel commented 6 years ago

Instead of using pictures and tables like in https://www.cyberbotics.com/doc/guide/using-the-aibo-ers7-robot we should use X3D interactive models to document robot actuators position and range (mainly motors and leds) like in: https://www.cyberbotics.com/files/repository/x3dom/darwin-op/soccer.html

However, the X3D interactive model should be normalized the following way:

it should display only the robot (not other object, no floor) on a white background.
the list of motors should be exhaustive and refer to the device names.
the range of the motors should be displayed on the slider (for unlimited ranges of rotational motors, we should simply allow -π ↔ π animation)
for leds, we should either use a color slider (for RGB led) or a simple toggle for standard leds.

Therefore, we should stop creating images like: and corresponding tables as they will be discarded when using the X3D interactive models.

I agree. I think it doesn't change the short term priorities I have, i.e., to create better robot images, as in https://github.com/omichel/webots-doc/pull/665. These images can be replaced by this new system later.
