Description
Evaluation on this bench consists of placing a device at the heart of a simulation projected onto a 300° screen while a motion capture system and an instrumented conveyor belt measure its movements, if any. These data are integrated into the simulator in real time so that the device's digital twin follows the same movements and the projected environment is updated accordingly. The simulator also incorporates a physics engine and advanced sensor models, enabling a virtual sensor output to be substituted for the robot's sensors in real time. The 3D simulation environment can also be used to simulate various advanced sensors, enabling a virtual sensor output to be substituted for the robot's sensors in real time (camera, lidar, GPS, sonar, 3D camera, and many more).
