Many years of activity in the field allowed us to sort out crucial requirements for a framework tailored for robotics: modularity and extensibility, source code reusability, feature richness, and user-friendliness. We implemented these requirements and collected best practices in Locosim, a cross-platform framework for simulation and real hardware. In this paper, we describe the architecture of Locosim and illustrate some use cases that show its potential.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.02107v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.02107v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"locosim-an-open-source-cross-platform","repo_url":"https://github.com/mfocchi/locosim","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"tf","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"locosim-an-open-source-cross-platform","repo_url":"https://github.com/iit-dlslab/reactive_landing_controller","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"locosim-an-open-source-cross-platform","repo_url":"https://github.com/mfocchi/climbing_robots2","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"locosim-an-open-source-cross-platform","repo_url":"https://github.com/mfocchi/jump_rl","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
