Sim: A Light-Weight Robot Simulator for Modular Robots
Original language description
Physical simulation is frequently used in robotics, as it allows evaluation of control strategies or planning techniques in situations, where experiments with real robots are time consuming or limited due to power resources or reliability issues. Such anexample is locomotion generation for modular robots formed from many small robotic modules. To find a suitable locomotion for such a complex robot, evolutionary principles can be used, which requires to conduct many experiments. To speed up this process, a robot simulator can be employed. In this paper, a novel, light-weight open-source simulator for the modular robots is introduced. It provides both physical and sensor simulation and it was designed to be run in a headless mode, i.e., without any visualization. This allows to run it on e.g. on computational grids. Despite this fact, the progress of the simulation can be later visualized using external tools like Blender 3D. This brings advantage in comparison to more general and power
