Introduction
The EyeBot simulator with virtual reality EyeSim VR is a multi-robot
robot simulator with VR functionality based on game engine Unity 3D
that allows experiments with the same unchanged EyeBot programs that run
on the real robots. EyeSim VR is capable of simulating all major RoBIOS functionalities, including:
- LCD Output/Key Input
- Camera output
- PSD Sensors
- Servos and Motors
- V-Omega Driving
- Radio Communication
Users can build 3D customized simulation environments using a world or maze file, place any number of different kind of robots, and also add different kind of objects to the simulation. Due to Unity's excellent physics engine, the simulation of the motion of robots and the interactions between robots and objects/walls is highly realistic and accurate, which considerably improves the quality of simulation. To make simulations more realistic, users can also add errors to the simulation (because real robots aren't perfect) using the simulated error functions we provide.
Features
