A Mobile Robot Simulator Using a Game Development Engine
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents the implementation issues arising from the development of a mobile robot simulator by using a game development engine. The developed simulator takes advantage of the graphics engine and of the physics engine available in the video game development platform. We show how the use of these tools enable us to obtain realistic simulations in the execution of robotic tasks including sensing and motion primitives. We will describe the elements composing the mobile robot simulator and how they were verified in some robotic tasks simulated in the application developed. We will also present the main issues arising in the development process.

Pushing Boxes in a Mobile Robot Simulator
This demo proposal presents the implementation of a solution of the problem of pushing boxes in a mobile robot simulator. We solve several boards of the Sokoban game, consisting in pushing boxes in a scenario, from a start configuration to a goal configuration. The game finishes when all boxes are in one the goal positions. The player has some constraints in his actuation capabilities because i...

متن کاملNavigation of a Mobile Robot Using Virtual Potential Field and Artificial Neural Network
Mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. The proposed approach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the track using a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. For training, a human operator navigates the mobile robot in ...
