Warnings about skipped clock cycles

[stephane-caron]

I have a Bullet simulation where the robot balances fine, but the agent repeatedly warns it "Skipped X clock cycles". What could be causing this?

This happens when your CPU is not powerful enough to run the simulator in real-time along with your agent and spine. You can call Spine::simulate with nb_substeps = 1 instead of Spine::run, which will result in the correct simulation time from the agent's point of view but make the simulation slower than real-time from your point of view.
