Webots Physics Skill

Use this skill to configure and debug rigid body physics behavior in Webots using ODE-backed simulation primitives and parameters.

Do not cover basic world building workflow in this skill; route that work to webots-world-building. Do not cover motor control API usage in this skill; route that work to webots-actuators.

Scope

• Configure global simulation behavior from WorldInfo physics fields.
• Configure mass, inertia, and center of mass with Physics.
• Configure and tune joint constraints and passive dynamics.
• Configure collision shapes and contact material interactions.
• Configure damping and fluid interaction fields.
• Implement advanced custom dynamics through physics plugins.
• Tune runtime performance while preserving required simulation fidelity.
