It was great to attend the Robots on the Web breakout session today - thanks for organizing this Debbie! My university team's work on robot simulation is online at Autonomous Unmanned Vehicle (AUV) Workbench https://savage.nps.edu/AuvWorkbench https://savage.nps.edu/AuvWorkbench/NPSAuvWorkbenchFlyer.pdf AUV Workbench supports physics-based modeling and visualization of autonomous vehicle behavior and sensors. Our “3 R’s” are Rehearsal, Run-time control and Replay for air, surface and underwater robots. This open-source tool is written in Java and demonstrates use of Autonomous Vehicle Command Language (AVCL) https://savage.nps.edu/Savage/AuvWorkbench/AVCL/AVCL.html for XML-based cross-platform mission definition, command tasking, and telemetry recording. We typically use the IEEE Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) protocol for networking, and the Extensible 3D (X3D) Graphics standard for visualization. Other protocols are possible for sharing robot state information, for examplee we have bundled DIS-XML within the XMPP chat protocol. Example simulation mission products and analysis report for a UAV simulation can be found at https://savage.nps.edu/AuvWorkbench/videos/UavWaypointMissionDemo1280x800.mov https://savage.nps.edu/AuvWorkbench/MyAuvwProjects/DefaultProject/missions/UavWaypointMission.xml https://savage.nps.edu/AuvWorkbench/MyAuvwProjects/DefaultProject/missions/UavWaypointMission.MissionMetadata.xml https://savage.nps.edu/AuvWorkbench/MyAuvwProjects/DefaultProject/missions/UavWaypointMissionReport.pdf https://savage.nps.edu/AuvWorkbench/MyAuvwProjects/DefaultProject/missions/UavWaypointMissionTelemetryPlacemarks.kml I agree with the sentiments expressed by several people in the meeting that message exchange will be central to this group's endeavors. Looking forward to further dialog. all the best, Don -- Don Brutzman Naval Postgraduate School, Code USW/Br brutzman@nps.edu Watkins 270, MOVES Institute, Monterey CA 93943-5000 USA +1.831.656.2149 X3D graphics, virtual worlds, navy robotics http://faculty.nps.edu/brutzman
