I would like to make a list of remarkable robot simulation environments including advantages and disadvantages of them. Some examples I know of are Webots and Player/Stage.
Webots. Webots is 3D simulation platform developed by Cyberbotics and used in service and industrial simulations. The tool offer support for Windows, Linux and Apple platforms, and is one of the most used simulation software in education or research purposes.
A simulation environment is defined as a programming environment of a computer, that is dedicated to systems simulation and that takes care for a flexible and intelligent interfacing between a user (i.e. the experimenter) and the system to be experimentally studied.
A robotics simulator is a simulator used to create application for a physical robot without depending on the actual machine, thus saving cost and time. In some case, these applications can be transferred onto the physical robot (or rebuilt) without modifications.
ROS will visualize your robot and any data you've recorded from it.
