Mobotsim(Mobile Robot Simulator)是早期一款移动机器人仿真软件,在Windows 下的2D动态仿真。它提供了一个图形界面,可以很方便的建立和编辑你的机器人,支持basic语言。
该软件自带一个Basic语言编辑器,所有的控制程序以Basic宏(Macros)的形式提供。
该软件主要用于移动机器人的设计、测试和仿真,可以应用的领域涵盖自动导航技术,避障, 人工智能, a-life, 集成数据传感器等。
其优势包括:
- Unlimited number of mobots and obstacles.
- Several obstacle shapes (line, rectangle, round rectangle, arc, ellipse, sector, chord) and free-hand drawing.
- Mobots are differential drive.
- Simulation of Ranging Sensors (tipically ultrasonic sensor)
- Flexible Configuration of Mobots - Platform diameter, wheels diameter, distance between wheels, number of ranging sensors, angle between sensors.
- Configuration of ranging sensors - radiation cone, range, misreading percentage.
- Each mobot has a configurable grid to map the environment. Automatic Certainty Grid method available with use of Ranging Sensor function
