A Virtual Collaborative World Simulator for Underwater Robots using Multi-Dimensional, Synthetic Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
DVECS (Distributed Virtual Environment Collaborative Simulator) is used for testing of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) where both real and simulated vehicles can interact and cooperate in a hybrid, synthetic, virtual environment. This virtual reality system can be used to determine: (1) the optimal performance and criteria for the cooperating vehicles and its relative application; (2) the determination of the advantages and disadvantages of collaborative application tasks between multiple UUVs; and (3) the optimal communication links between the cooperating vehicles and its remote control stations. It also utilizes a virtual reality projection and polarized eyewear systems, which immerses the user for optimal visualization.

This paper describes a virtual collaborative world simulator, DVECS (Distributed Virtual Environment Collaborative Simulator), for underwater robots and its underwater vehicle, SAUVIM (Semi-Autonomous Underwater Vehicle for Intervention Missions). DVECS is used for testing unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) of both real and simulated worlds where interaction and cooperation of other real and s...
متن کاملSimulation of physical agents. An application to underwater robots
Robots are physical agents which move through the world interacting with objects, with other physical agents and with the environment. Therefore, robots behave following the general laws of the physics. For several years, behavioural robotists argued that embodiment was a key issue for success. Embodiment means that robots are physical creatures that should experience the world directly instead...
متن کاملA topology control algorithm for autonomous underwater robots in three-dimensional space using PSO
Recently, data collection from seabed by means of underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSN) has attracted considerable attention. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are increasingly used as UWSNs in underwater missions. Events and environmental parameters in underwater regions have a stochastic nature. The target area must be covered by sensors to observe and report events. A ‘topology cont...

متن کاملMap-merging in Multi-robot Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Process Using Two Heterogeneous Ground Robots
In this article, a fast and reliable map-merging algorithm is proposed to produce a global two dimensional map of an indoor environment in a multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) process. In SLAM process, to find its way in this environment, a robot should be able to determine its position relative to a map formed from its observations. To solve this complex problem, simultan...
