BabaCAD Robotics Web v2.2 has been released (08/29/2026). Introducing a new plugin system with a set of .js API functions.
Users now can write custom commands and extend simulator with specific functionalities. There is VS Code extension (search in VS Code marketplace for BabaCAD Robotics extension) which helps user to write plugin code easy, using API methods auto-complete feature. Now, users can also write post processor to send simulation trajectory data (interpolated joint angles array) directly to a real robot arm.
