The analysis and comparison of these solutions with the existing ones are given. It was designed a new software architecture for controlling mobile robotic complexes on the base of two models. Developed simulators and usage of the actor model were the base for creating the technological platforms for distributed software control, providing the simultaneous access of several users to a group of mobile robots and their virtual models. Keywords: building a network of robotarium; distributed control of mobile robots and their simulation software for mobile robot; reservation methods in robotics; dynamic reprogramming 1. Main problems When developing intelligent robots, one of the problems is the lack of effective software to create systems of group control. For example, in the well-known software packages (ROS, MRS, and others) does not included specific development tools for control of distributed mechatronic systems, especially in remote mode.

  • Openrave: a Planning Architecture for Autonomous Robotics
    OpenRAVE: A Planning Architecture for Autonomous Robotics Rosen Diankov James Kuffner [email protected] [email protected] CMU-RI-TR-08-34 July 2008 Robotics Institute Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213 Copyright c 2008 by Rosen Diankov and James Kuffner. All rights reserved. Abstract One of the challenges in developing real-world autonomous robots is the need for integrating and rigorously test- ing high-level scripting, motion planning, perception, and control algorithms. For this purpose, we introduce an open-source cross-platform software architecture called OpenRAVE, the Open Robotics and Animation Virtual Envi- ronment. OpenRAVE is targeted for real-world autonomous robot applications, and includes a seamless integration of 3-D simulation, visualization, planning, scripting and control. A plugin architecture allows users to easily write cus- tom controllers or extend functionality. With OpenRAVE plugins, any planning algorithm, robot controller, or sensing subsystem can be distributed and dynamically loaded at run-time, which frees developers from struggling with mono- lithic code-bases. Users of OpenRAVE can concentrate on the development of planning and scripting aspects of a problem without having to explicitly manage the details of robot kinematics and dynamics, collision detection, world updates, and robot control. The OpenRAVE architecture provides a flexible interface that can be used in conjunction with other popular robotics packages such as Player and ROS because it is focused on autonomous motion planning and high-level scripting rather than low-level control and message protocols. OpenRAVE also supports a powerful network scripting environment which makes it simple to control and monitor robots and change execution flow dur- ing run-time.

  • Design and Implementation of an Autonomous Robotics Simulator
    DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN AUTONOMOUS ROBOTICS SIMULATOR by Adam Carlton Harris A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Electrical Engineering Charlotte 2011 Approved by: _______________________________ Dr. James M. Conrad _______________________________ Dr. Ronald R. Sass _______________________________ Dr. Bharat Joshi ii © 2011 Adam Carlton Harris ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT ADAM CARLTON HARRIS. Design and implementation of an autonomous robotics simulator. (Under the direction of DR. JAMES M. CONRAD) Robotics simulators are important tools that can save both time and money for developers. Being able to accurately and easily simulate robotic vehicles is invaluable. In the past two decades, corporations, robotics labs, and software development groups have released many robotics simulators to developers. Commercial simulators have proven to be very accurate and many are easy to use, however they are closed source and generally expensive. Open source simulators have recently had an explosion of popularity, but most are not easy to use. This thesis describes the design criteria and implementation of an easy to use open source robotics simulator. SEAR (Simulation Environment for Autonomous Robots) is designed to be an open source cross-platform 3D (3 dimensional) robotics simulator written in Java using jMonkeyEngine3 and the Bullet Physics engine. Users can import custom-designed 3D models of robotic vehicles and terrains to be used in testing their own robotics control code. Several sensor types (GPS, triple-axis accelerometer, triple-axis gyroscope, and a compass) have been simulated and early work on infrared and ultrasonic distance sensors as well as LIDAR simulators has been undertaken.

  • Evaluating Human-Robot Interaction During a Manipulation Experiment Conducted in Immersive Virtual Reality
    Evaluating Human-Robot Interaction during a Manipulation Experiment Conducted in Immersive Virtual Reality Mihai Duguleana, Florin Grigorie Barbuceanu, and Gheorghe Mogan Transylvania University of Brasov, Product Design and Robotics Department, Bulevardul Eroilor, nr. 29, Brasov, Romania {mihai.duguleana,florin.barbuceanu,mogan}@unitbv.ro Abstract. This paper presents the main highlights of a Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) study conducted during a manipulation experiment performed in Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE). Our aim is to assess whether using immersive Virtual Reality (VR) for testing material handling scenarios that assume collaboration between robots and humans is a practical alternative to similar real live applications. We focus on measuring variables identified as conclusive for the purpose of this study (such as the percentage of tasks successfully completed, the average time to complete task, the relative distance and motion estimate, presence and relative contact errors) during different manipulation scenarios. We present the experimental setup, the HRI questionnaire and the results analysis. We conclude by listing further research issues. Keywords: human-robot interaction, immersive virtual reality, CAVE, presence, manipulation. 1 Introduction One of the most important goals of robotics researchers is achieving a natural interaction between humans and robots. For attaining this, a great deal of effort is spent in designing and constructing experiments involving both robots and human operators. Using real physical structures in everyday experiments implies time consuming testing activities. Considering VR has lately emerged as a prolific approach to solving several issues scientists encounter during their work, some recent robotics studies propose the usage of immersive VR as a viable alternative to classic experiments.
