Distributed Robot Control System Based on the Real-Time Linux Platform

Abstract:

Flexible and user-friendly virtual environment, Lola Robot Simulator, was developed to simulate andsupervise robot cells. 3D graphic visualisation of robots and their environment, automatic and manual movement ofvirtual robot axes and end-effector trajectory tracing are implemented through open-source tools on Linux platform.In this paper, a short presentation of the Lola Robot Simulator will be given, with emphasis on main features of thesystem. Lola Robot Simulator was successfully applied to a robot cell comprised of two industrial robots –“Lola15” and “Lola50” and a track guided vehicle “Robo1000”
