Abstract

Our objective is to promote scientific research among undergraduate students at Eastern Oregon University through the development of mobile robots. Simulating mobile robots in research is not a novel technique, but using simulated robots that utilize virtual physics or "Physicomimetics" [2] as a tool to promote undergraduate research is unique. This paper addresses the undergraduate research experience of designing and implementing a simulated mobile robot environment using a physics-based control algorithm.
