Simulated Robotics Services Overview

Simulated Robotic Services consist of a combination of an entity (or entities) and a DSS service that interacts with the entity. Therefore these services appear to an application as though they are real-world devices. Other services should not need to know about the simulation entity and should not interact with it directly.

Available simulated robotics services include:

• Bumper (Contact Sensor)
• Differential Drive
• Kinect Sensor
• KUKA LBR3 Articulated Arm
• SICK Laser Range Finder
• Web Camera 

Various different robots are also available in the simulator:

• LEGO NXT
• iRobot Create
• Mobile Robots Pioneer 3DX
• Reference Platform

The simulated robots use various simulated robotic services, and in particular the Simulated Differential Drive.
