A Remote User Interface to Modelica Robot Models

Abstract

A remote interface for simulating robots via the Internet is presented. This environment is dedicated to simulations of robotic arms whose models are written in some descriptive language like Modelica. The actual application runs on robot models compiled by Dymola. This work has been developed within a project whose purpose is the Modelica/Dymola implementation of models of space robots and servomechanisms, and their dissemination to partner firms and to the scientific community. The remote simulation environment has been tested with a model of the Spider robotic arm.
