Virtual robot in distributed control system

Abstract

Before the development of robotic systems, it is of great importance to perform verification of various types of scenarios within the machine work and testing. That is especially important in designing the machine with new control logic, before releasing the machine. This paper describes 3D simulator, as part of the offline system, within distributed system for robot control. It is developed in Lola Institute and it provides robot control and monitoring. Parts of the developed system communicate via CORBA protocol, allowing remote control of the robot system through an intuitive graphical user interface.
