Скачать или смотреть Robotics Simulation: Interaction with Industrial Robot through Wiimote

The video shows a simulation performed with the Virtual Robot Experimentation Platform (V-REP: http://www.coppeliarobotics.com ). It demonstrates how V-REP can interface with various kind of hardware devices. The video demonstrates V-REP connecting and retrieving/sending data from/to: the Wiimote, a webcam. V-REP is able to connect to virtually any type of hardware through serial port, socket communication, or any other kind of communication (supported through plugins).

This simulation was realized based on following video from the Chair Robotics and Embedded Systems Knoll of the Technical University of Munich:    • Industrial Robot meets Nintendo Wii Remote  

Following is V-REP's main functionality: distributed control (unlimited concurrently running threaded or non-threaded scripts directly attached to objects or models), dynamics (in V-REP the user can switch at any time from the Bullet Physics library to the Open Dynamics Engine, both are supported), inverse kinematics (any mechanism, closed, redundant, with nested loops, etc.), fast mesh-mesh interference checking, exact minimum mesh-mesh distance calculation (for any type of mesh, also concave, open, polygon soup, etc.), proximity sensors (exact minimum mesh distance calculation within a customizable detection volume), camera-like sensors (with a large amount of available filter components that can be combined to achieve image processing), elaborate graphing possibilities, holonomic path planning in 2-6 dimensions and non-holonomic path planning for car-like vehicles, unlimited number of custom user interfaces with integrated edit-mode, integrated shape edit modes (triangle, vertex and edge), surface cutting simulation, etc.
