This paper presents the modifications needed to adapt a humanoid agent architecture and behaviors from simulation to a real robot. The experiments were conducted using the Aldebaran Nao robot model. The agent architecture was adapted from the RoboCup 3D Simulation League to the Standard Platform League with as few changes as possible. The reasons for the modifications include small differences ...

This paper investigates the evolution of robot controllers utilising only visual environment input data, capable of performing a hard task, playing football, in the real world. The techniques of minimal simulation, where the robot controller is forced to ignore certain features through making those features unreliable, are used to construct a noisy simulated environment for a robot with an onbo...

This paper describes the modeling and simulation of an underwater robot glider used in the shallow-water environment. We followed the Equations of motion derived by [2] and simplified dynamic Equations of motion of an underwater glider according to our underwater glider. A simulation code is built and operated in the MATLAB Simulink environment so that we can make improvements to our testing gl...

The Robot Operating System (ROS) has been steadily gaining popularity among robotics researchers as an open source framework for robot control. The Uni ed System for Automation and Robot Simulation (USARSim) has been used for many years by robotics researchers and developers as a validated framework for simulation. This paper presents a new ROS node that is designed to seamlessly interface betw...

In this study, kinematics and dynamic simulation of a six-legged robot is performed based on virtual prototyping technology. Modeling and simulation of sixlegged robot with three joint legs are carried out with CATIA solid modeler, SimDesigner and ADAMS multibody dynamic solver. Tripod periodic gait pattern was generated varying the cycle time as well as stroke of the swing of the legs. Variati...
