Title
MiMicS: a multi-robot simulator for teaching, rapid prototyping and large scale evaluations.
Abstract
This paper presents MiMicS, a novel multi-robot simulator for teaching, rapid algorithm prototyping and large scale evaluation. Contrary to many other solutions, this simulator provides easy-to-use methods for defining new scenarios and an intuitive system to extensively test large batteries of simulations. MiMicS also incorporates a simple but efficient multi-thread and timing control mechanism. This reduces the need to use highly powerful computers to run long-term executions, alleviating problems caused by busy CPUs that can jeopardize the results of a simulation. The paper reviews the current state of the art on multi-robot simulators, describes the architecture and features of MiMicS, and evaluates its performance.
