The iCub is a new open-source humanoid robot developed as a result of the ?RobotCub? project, a collaborative European project aiming at developing a new open-source cognitive robotics platform. The iCub simulator has been developed as part of a joint effort with the European project ?ITALK? on the integration and transfer of action and language knowledge in cognitive robots. This is available open-source to all researchers interested in cognitive robotics experiments with the iCub humanoid platform. %K Open-Source, Simulator, iCub humanoid robot, cognitive robotics %E R Madhavan %E E.R.
