A general computer simulation platform for distributed multi-robot systems

Abstract

The paper presents a general computer simulation platform CASIA-MR. Designed for simulating experiments on distributed multi-robotic systems, the platform bears virtues of generality, preciseness, facility as well as various functions such as real-time display, recording-replay and capability of supporting algorithm developing. Moreover, the platform is easy to be modified and operated. Many algorithms have been developed on this platform.
