This paper show an advanced computer graphic techniques for laser range finder (LRF) simulation. The LRF is the common sensor for unmanned ground vehicle, autonomous mobile robot and security applications. The cost of the measurement system is extremely high, therefore the simulation tool is designed. The simulation gives an opportunity to execute algorithm such as the obstacle avoidance[1], sl...

A cognitive extension for a behavior-based control system for a six-legged robot is proposed that allows a robot to deal with novel situations. Following a minimal cognitive systems approach a biological inspired control system is extended towards a system capable of planning ahead which utilizes a functional internal model of its own body in mental simulation. While the body model is grounded ...

This paper addresses the design and implementation of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) fuzzy control for mobile robot. Firstly, MIMO fuzzy control is apply to track different desired trajectories. Secondly, the controller performs on robot for navigation purpose to avoid obstacles and reach defined target. The proposed MIMO fuzzy controller was investigated based on several conducted MATLAB simu...

In this paper, we describe the soccer playing agent developed by our team UT Austin Villa to participate in the RoboCup 3D simulation soccer competition held in Atlanta, U.S.A., in July 2007. The 2007 competition saw the introduction of a humanoid robot in the 3D simulation league. We present an overview of this new version of the simulation league, followed by a description of our approaches i...

.Abstract – This paper reports a design and simulation of a new low-cost humanoid robot that has been named as CALUMA (CAssino Low-cost hUMAnoid robot). A 3D-CAD model of CALUMA has been developed in order to check the feasibility of the assembly, possible component interferences and kinematic behaviour. A dynamic simulation in ADAMS environment has been developed for CALUMA walking movements. ...

This paper deals with the simulation of a dynamical system in which the motion of each rigid robot is subject to the influence of virtual forces induced by geometric constraints. These constraints may impose joint connectivity and angle limits for articulated robots, spatial relationships between multiple collaborative robots, or have a robot follow an estimated path to perform certain tasks in...

Simulation is often used in research and industry as a low cost, high efficiency alternative to real model testing. Simulation has also been used to develop and test powerful learning algorithms. However, parameters learned in simulation often do not translate directly to the application, especially because heavy optimization in simulation has been observed to exploit the inevitable simulator s...

This paper presents the architecture design of the robot operability assessment simulation testbed (called "ROAST") for the resolution of robot operability problems occurred during interactions between human operators and robots. The basic idea of the ROAST architecture design is to enable the easy composition of legacy or new simulation models according to its purpose. ROAST architecture is ba...

This paper presents the dynamic modeling of a nonholonomic mobile robot and the dynamic stabilization problem. The dynamic model is based on the kinematic one including nonholonomic constraints. The proposed control strategy allows to solve the control problem using linear controllers and only requires the robot localization coordinates. This strategy was tested by simulation using Matlab-Simul...

The rapid evolution of standard hardware such as workstations and PCs made it possible to develop workstation or PC based robot controls. RoboSiM, a robot simulation and monitoring system, is based on such a robot control. RoboSiM runs on the real robot controller which may be either a SPARC workstation or a PC. Traditional systems simulate both, the robot arm and the robot control. The basic i...
