The 3d7-Simulation Environment: a tool for autonomous mobile robot development

Abstract

Presents the 3d7-Simulation Environment, which was designed as a tool for wheeled autonomous mobile robot development. Within the MOBOT-IV project 3d7 is used to support the research in the field of sensor data processing algorithms as well as the different levels of motion control. Currently, the simulation environment consists of a 3D solid modeling kernel, environment editor, optical range finder sensor simulator, sonar sensor simulation component and kinematics and dynamics simulator for wheeled vehicles.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
