VirtualRobot: An open general-purpose simulation tool for Robotics
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces the basis of a graphical software application, designed for low cost hardware, as a general, flexible and open platform to work on robotics. VirtualRobot has proven to be a useful tool in many fields of robotics, such as manipulator programming, mobile robots control (wheeled, sub-aquatic and walking robots), distance computation, sensor simulation, collision detection, motion planning and so on. VirtualRobot is used as the common interface for all the applications. Some practical cases and application examples are illustrated on the paper to present the possibilities of this simulation software.

Reactive Planning Simulation in Dynamic Environments with VirtualRobot
This paper describes the architecture of a reactive planning system for dynamic environments, which is specifically designed to deal with robot planning problems. The architecture permits many agents to work simultaneously on the same environment and it is aimed at working with incomplete information. Agents have partial knowledge about the world and data soon becomes obsolete because of the ch...

We describe the Harmonic Motion Description Protocol (HMDP), that can serve as a part in tools for rapid prototyping of behaviors in a hybrid simulation real robot environment. In particular, we are focusing on the RoboCup 3D Soccer Simulation League server that is currently evolving rapidly, and becomes a more and more useful open source, general purpose simulation environment for physical Mul...
متن کاملTools for dynamics simulation of robots: a survey based on user feedback
The number of tools for dynamics simulation has grown in the last years. It is necessary for the robotics community to have elements to ponder which of the available tools is the best for their research. As a complement to an objective and quantitative comparison, difficult to obtain since not all the tools are open-source, an element of evaluation is user feedback. With this goal in mind, we c...
