Interactive control parameter investigation of modular robotic simulation environment based on Wiimote-HCI´s multi sensor fusion

This paper describes a method to integrate a hardware device into a modular robot control and simulation software and introduces sensor fusion to investigate the current set of control parameters. As a highlevel remote unit for modulation of control algorithms the Wiimote and the usage of its sensors will be introduced. Sensor fusion of the Wiimote´s sensors allows to create a human-robot interaction modul to control a simulation environment as well as real robots. Finally its benefit for evaluation of locomotion control algorithms will be pointed out.
