Robotics Simulation: Ant-like Hexapod Robot in V-REP
Loading...
Uploaded by VirtualRobotPlatform on Aug 14, 2011
The video shows a simulation performed with the Virtual Robot Experimentation Platform (V-REP: http://www.v-rep.eu ). The whole control of the robot (as seen in this video) requires less than 200 lines of code, everything included. First the robot stays in place and changes the posture of its body. Then the robot walks straight, then sideways and backwards while keeping a constant body posture. In the third part, the robot walks straight while performing the same body movements as at the beginning. Finally, the robot rotates on the spot. Also notice how the head keeps its orientation independently of the body's posture. The simulation was made based on following video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jyBiECoS3Q
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.

Looking good! I would suggest to add an abdomen though;)
