Simulation System for Teleoperated Mobile Robots

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 8906))

Abstract

The paper presents a mobile robot simulator designed primarily for teleoperated mobile robots, to aid in the prototyping phase of development or as a training tool for existing robots. The simulator uses virtual reality with realistic 3D graphics to simulate complex behaviour of a mobile robot in various conditions and with different properties. The system can be used to discover or verify driving and manipulation abilities of a mobile robot defined by its kinematics structure and dimensions, and also to simulate navigation using the camera subsystem containing one or more cameras.
