Virtual entity based rapid prototype developing framework (VE-RPDF) for intelligent robots

摘要

To facilitate the development of intelligent robots, a virtual entity based rapid prototype developing framework (VE-RPDF) is proposed. It aims at helping design intelligent robots through the following steps: rapidly setting up a robot prototype, coding for the control strategy and algorithm, and optimizing the robot design by testing it on both virtual entities and real robots. With VE-RPDF, two types of robots, including wheeled robot and humanoid robot, are developed, and the latter one is introduced as a case to verify the validation of VE-RPDF.
