===== Description =====
This is a robot simulator for the ARCOS-LAB's robot . It simulates its two KUKA LWR4+ arms and two DLR HIT II hands, force and torque sensing; and the torso DFG by the lead screw. It also simulates friction between an object, a table and robot fingers.

It simulates multiple arms set-ups and scores the manipulation capabilities of each set-up tested from touching a sphere. The robot is defined by its kinematics descriptions and its tested in one-single hand manipulation, two-hand manipulation and collaborative manipulation tasks.
