Development of a VRML/Java unmanned airship simulating environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present in this paper one of the first Internetaccessible airship simulators, based on a comprehensive airship dynamic model. The simulator is meant to be used as a tool for the development of control and navigation methods for autonomous and semiautonomous robotic airships and as testbed for airship pilot training. Realistic views of both the airship in flight and that of a virtual pilot are provided, as are commands to apply thrust to the engines, swivel them up and down, and deflect the control surfaces. This work is significant for providing robotics researchers with means to safely experiment with airship control.

The guidance control strategy is based on a path tracking error generat...
متن کاملDeveloping Visual-Interactive Simulations with Java and VRML
The aim of this work is to provide a tool for the development of Web-based simulations with visual and interactive features. The tool is defined by an object-oriented class library written in Java also providing a structured interface for VRML code. This library uses a discrete event simulation approach in order to assign and schedule events in a Multi-agent based environment. An application ex...

This paper presents an approach toward implementing Java and VRML environments for training and Teleoperation of Robotic Systems. Three methods were explored for such experiments, for communicating and message passing between Java and VRML programs. The first method includes routing approach. Using VRML script, all the nodes of the virtual world are routed to the Java applet. The Java program t...
