Design and development of a robotics research framework
by nada on Feb.07, 2010, under Projects
An overview of my honours project, covering the design and implementation of a research framework built in C++ to interface with USARSim. The major goal of this project was to be able to provide data to emperically validate control algortihms and justify design decisions. An overview of the libraries (Windows .dlls) and message flow between the various modules are presented.
Various simulators exist for modelling robotic platforms, from the simple 2-dimensional to complex environmental and physics modelling. Most of these simulators require a large amount of support code to be written by the user before they are able to implement and test algorithms. This project aimed to develop a research platform for the testing and development of autonomous robot navigation and interaction while providing a means of experimentally validating algorithm efficiency and suitability.
