A Visualization Tool for the Mini-Robot Khepera: Behavior Analysis and Optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
The design of behavior generating control structures for real robots acting autonomously in a real and changing environment is a complex task. This is in particular true with respect to the debugging process, the documentation of the encountered behavior, its quantitative analysis and the final evaluation. To successfully implement such a behavior, it is vital to couple the synthesis on a simulator and the experiment on a real robot with a thorough analysis. The available simulator tools in general only allow behavioral snapshots and do not provide the option of online interference. In order to cure these shortcomings, a visualization tool for aposteriori graphical analysis of recorded data sets which gives access to all relevant internal states and parameters of the system is presented. The mini-robot Khepera has been chosen as experimentatory platform.
