Abstract

This paper refers to a virtual environment which represents the main support for experiments with mobile robots in the design and testing stage. This software environment is very useful because, compairing to the experiments with real robots, it allow the testing and evaluation of different types of interfaces and different working environments with diverse configurations. A very important facility of this interactive software environment is the fact that the designers of the robots sensors and interfaces are able to work in parallel to design test, optimize and realize different control devices for the robot.
