Simulation System for Analysis of Specialized Mobile Robots

The aim of this paper is to present the simulation system for analysis of specialized mobile robots, which is equipped with a supporting human operator (on–board or teleoperator) computer system. Simulation is performed in real time, using a computer system and a mobile robot. Visualization of the environment simulation, movements of the vehicle, and behavior of the human operator are done by computer animation and partly by a mobile robot and its physical environment. The performance of the control unit in different environmental conditions, including detection of obstacles using different sensors, can be observed using a mobile robot moving in a simulated environment configured according to experimental requirements.
