This is generally accomplished through the use of simulation followed by or in conjunction with testing in a physical environment. In this paper, the conceptual integration of an unmanned surface vehicle’s software to a test and evaluation framework is presented. The utilization of the suggested framework in this application enables testing throughout the virtuality-reality continuum, enabling behavioral testing early in the lifecycle, seamlessly integrating autonomous software with either a test environment or the physical vehicle. This reduces safety concerns as well as cost. This paper considers the utilization of the framework by mapping autonomous software developed for the Maritime RobotX competition to the framework and discussing the potential benefits of this activity. Keywords: autonomous systems, virtuality-reality continuum, test and evaluation framework, unmanned surface vehicle 1 INTRODUCTION Due to their nature and expected behavior, autonomous systems introduce various challenges in testing and validation. Expected behavior must be studied for occurrence reliability, while the system must safely adapt to external factors and possible complications. Throughout the development cycle, testing is performed in both virtual and physical environments, introducing inputs and models to improve autonomous software response to both expected and unexpected inputs. Utilization of a test and evaluation (T&E) framework is proposed so that system and subsystem testing can be conducted with augmented virtual and real data. This is accomplished by isolating autonomous software components from each other as well as from the operating environment, and ensuring that the autonomous software does not know the source of information. Isolating components and data enables testing to be conducted throughout the virtuality to reality spectrum, increasing the variety of tests and building confidence in the autonomous software (Leathrum et. al 2018a.). MSVSCC 2019, April 18, Suffolk, VA, USA; ©2019 Society for Modeling and Simulation (SCS) International 2 Sakioti, Robey, Laverghetta and Leathrum The autonomous software that will utilize and be mapped onto the framework provides the autonomy to an unmanned surface vehicle (USV). The USV’s software structure was designed around functionalities needed to complete the Maritime RobotX competition tasks (Maritime RobotX n.d.). Essential capabilities that the surface vehicle should demonstrate are listed below: • Obstacle avoidance • Navigation and control (circling an object, traversing through a gate, docking etc.) • Object and symbol detection (buoys, totems, docks, a hole cutout etc.) • Underwater beacon identification • Station keeping (maintaining current position) The remainder of the paper is organized into five sections. Section 2 details the framework that the authors propose for use in USV testing, while Section 3 presents

  • Initial Steps for the Coupling of Javascript Physics Engines with X3DOM
    Workshop on Virtual Reality Interaction and Physical Simulation VRIPHYS (2013) J. Bender, J. Dequidt, C. Duriez, and G. Zachmann (Editors) Initial Steps for the Coupling of JavaScript Physics Engines with X3DOM L. Huber1 1Fraunhofer IGD, Germany Abstract During the past years, first physics engines based on JavaScript have been developed for web applications. These are capable of displaying virtual scenes much more realistically. Thus, new application areas can be opened up, particularly with regard to the coupling of X3DOM-based 3D models. The advantage is that web-based applica- tions are easily accessible to all users. Furthermore, such engines allow popularizing and presenting simulation results without having to compile large simulation software. This paper provides an overview and a comparison of existing JavaScript physics engines. It also introduces a guideline for the derivation of a physical model based on a 3D model in X3DOM. The aim of using JavaScript physics engines is not only to virtually visualize designed products but to simulate them as well. The user is able to check and test an individual product virtually and interactively in a browser according to physically correct behavior regarding gravity, friction or collision. It can be used for verification in the design phase or web-based training purposes.

  • Tractable Robot Simulation for Terrain Leveling
    Tractable Robot Simulation for Terrain Leveling by c Daniel Cook Supervisor: Andrew Vardy A thesis submitted to the School of Gradate Stud- ies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Engineering. Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science Memorial University October 2017 St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada Abstract This thesis describes the problem of terrain leveling, in which one or more robots or vehicles are used to flatten a terrain. The leveling operation is carried out either in preparation for construction, or for terrain reparation. In order to develop and proto- type such a system, the use of simulation is advantageous. Such a simulation requires high fidelity to accurately model earth moving robots, which navigate uneven terrain and potentially manipulate the terrain itself. It has been found that existing tools for robot simulation typically do not adequately model deformable and/or uneven terrain. Software which does exist for this purpose, based on a traditional physics engine, is difficult if not impossible to run in real-time while achieving the desired accuracy. A number of possible approaches are proposed for a terrain leveling system using autonomous mobile robots. In order to test these approaches in simulation, a 2D simulator called Alexi has been developed, which uses the predictions of a neural network rather than physics simulation, to predict the motion of a vehicle and changes to a terrain. The neural network is trained using data captured from a high-fidelity non-real-time 3D simulator called Sandbox. Using a trained neural network to drive the 2D simulation provides considerable speed-up over the high-fidelity 3D simulation, allowing behaviour to be simulated in real-time while still capturing the physics of the agents and the environment.

Simulating ultimate simulation performance will be. Here we introduce contact dynamics with a velocity-stepping method is in itself new quantitative measures of simulation performance, focusing problematic because it calls for solving NP-hard problems at on the numerical challenges that are typical for robotics as each simulation step. Consequently much recent effort in this opposed to multi-body dynamics and gaming. We then present area has focused on developing convex approximations that extensive simulation results, obtained within a new software framework for instantiating the same model in multiple engines yield similar contact behavior while being more tractable and running side-by-side comparisons.
