Title
RAVE: a real and virtual environment for multiple mobile robot systems.
Abstract
To focus on the research issues surrounding collabora- tive behavior in multiple mobile-robotic systems, a great amount of low-level infrastructure is required. To facil- itate our on-going research into multi-robot systems, we have developed RAVE, a software framework that provides a Real And Virtual Environment for running and managing multiple heterogeneous mobile-robot systems. This frame- work simplifies the implementation and development of collaborative robotic systems by providing the following capabilities: the ability to run systems off-line in simula - tion, user-interfaces for observing and commanding simu- lated and real robots, transparent transference of simulat ed robot programs to real robots, the ability to have simulated robots interact with real robots, and the ability to place vi r- tual sensors on real robots to augment or experiment with their performance.
