[ODE] Webots: commercial mobile robot simulator using ODE

[Olivier Michel]

Thanks for the feedback. I have to check this bug with the Aibo windows. 
The file format is an extended subset of VRML97 (i.e., not exactly XML 
syntax, but very easily convertable to XML syntax with nodes and 
fields). I am open to give out this file format as an open source format 
so that it could be used by other apps. The documentation for the file 
format is included in the reference manual. It models bounding objects 
for collision detection, physics properties used be ODE and displayed 
shapes.
