Dynamic modeling and simulation of mobile robot based on matlab and VR technology

Abstract

This paper proposes an approach that develops a dynamic model of a mobile robot taking advantage of the Matlab. Meantime, in a developed virtual reality environment, the built model simulates the motion of path tracking and obstacle avoidance. Furthermore, it provides a platform for experiments of mobile robot teleoperation. The experimental results approve that, the virtual model represents the dynamic properties of real robot accurately and, with the change of parameters of the virtual model, it helps to find out the optimization methods of controlling and designing the mobile robot indeed.
