Abstract: |
In
this paper a novel GUI for a modular robots simulation environment is
introduced. The GUI is intended to be used by unexperienced users that take part in an edu- cational workshop as well
as by experienced researchers who want to work on the topic of control
algorithms of modular robots with the help of a framework. It offers two modes
for the two kinds of users. Each mode makes it possible to configure
everything needed with a graph- ical interface and
stores configurations in XML files. Furthermore, the GUI not only supports
importing the user’s control algorithms, but also provides online mod- ulation for these algorithms. Some learning techniques
such as genetic algorithms and reinforcement learning are also integrated
into the GUI for locomotion optimiza- tion. Thus, its easy to use, and
its scalability makes it suitable for research and education. |
