A mobile robot simulator useful in research and education was implemented in Matlab, it models the differential kinematics as well as proximity sensors of the robot. It allows the performance assessment of navigation algorithms through various quality metrics that are useful for comparing and analyzing navigation algorithms of mobile robots. An example that simulates and compares two autonomous navigation algorithms is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
