This paper presents the implementation of the panoramic, linear, artificial retina EDI within the frame of the Webots mobile-robotics simulator. The structure and functioning of the simulation are presented. Realistic sensor readings and software compatibility are the two key concerns of the simulator. A realistic sensor output is obtained by modelling the physical processes underlying the sensors. Interface compatibility between the real and simulated retina has been made possible through the use of the Khepera API. The simulator is validated by running a control algorithm developed on a real robot equipped with such a vision sensor and obtaining the same behavior.
