چکیده
This paper introduces a novel software package for the simulation of various types of range scanners. The goal is to provide researchers in the elds of obstacle detection, range data segmentation, obstacle tracking or surface reconstruction with a versatile and powerful software package that is easy to use and allows to focus on algorithmic improvements rather than on building the software framework around it. The simulation environment and the actual simulations can be e ciently distributed with a single compact le. Our proposed approach facilitates easy regeneration of published results, hereby highlighting the value of reproducible research.

Simulation Framework for UAS Conceptual Design
Sensor systems typically have not played a significant role in the aircraft conceptual design process. However, with the proliferation of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), the role of sensor systems on vehicle conceptual design can no longer be ignored. This issue is accentuated at smaller scales, where the sensing equipment may place significant constraints on the size, weight and power requireme...
متن کاملBlender for robotics and robotics for Blender
Computer animation and robotics have most of their mathematical foundations in common. So, Blender is a natural (but still undiscovered and imperfect) GUI candidate for robot simulation and programming. The robotics research community lacks an advanced graphical tool such as Blender, but, on the other hand, it has more advanced and efficient algorithms than Blender for the physically realistic ...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Dynamical Model for Retina-based Control of an RC Monster Truck
At the Institute of Neurinformatics (INI), a shared institute of the University of Zurich (UZH) and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETHZ), a dynamic vision sensor for fast visual processing has been developed. The dynamic vision sensor uses a silicon retina to detect contrast changes in a scene. An ongoing project is to develop a controller based on a silicon retina for a smal...

i ABSTRACT This thesis introduces the Model-Based Development of Multi-iRobot Toolbox (MBDMIRT), a Simulink-based toolbox designed to provide the means to acquire and practice the Model-Based Development (MBD) skills necessary to design real-time embedded system. The MBDMIRT toolbox runs under MATLAB/Simulink to simulate the movements of multiple iRobots and to control, after verification by si...
متن کاملSimulating Complex Robotic Scenarios with MORSE
MORSE is a robotic simulation software developed by roboticists from several research laboratories. It is a framework to evaluate robotic algorithms and their integration in complex environments, modeled with the Blender 3D real-time engine which brings realistic rendering and physics simulation. The simulations can be specified at various levels of abstraction. This enables researchers to focu...
