Innovative, reconfigurable simulator of mobile robots to support anti-crisis operations

The paper presents innovative, reconfigurable simulator of mobile robots included in anti-crisis operations system. The simulator development is a part of the PROTEUS project. Along the whole anti-crisis system is developed, the simulator of mobile robots is constructed. Majority of the simulators developed worldwide are intended for specific vehicles and used for various applications of particular robots. This approach does not satisfy developers from Poland because the anti-crisis operations system has an open architecture and allows to introduce different mobile robots into action. In the paper the requirements and architecture of the simulator are described. Its integration with training system of all parts of anti-crisis operations is discussed. The paper shows the novelty of the solution (both in hardware and software).
