Reconfigurable virtual environment for multirobot operations and its application in education

Abstract

This paper presents the development of reconfigurable virtual environment for programming, control, simulation, and monitoring of multiple robots and its application in the process of education. During the development special attention is devoted to the fulfillment of the modularity, scalability, and openness that represent the basic requirements of reconfigurability. The reconfigurability of the virtual laboratory can be considered from two aspects: as a possibility of reconfiguring operating mode and as a possibility of reconfiguring virtual robots and virtual laboratory. It represents an integrated environment for programming, control, simulation and monitoring of multiple robots with continuous adjustment to the real laboratory environment and robots' usage. With the possibility to adjust the virtual environment in accordance with the students' foreknowledge and experience by combining different operating modes and virtual environments, from the educational viewpoint, it is expected that the proposed solution will improve the process of gaining knowledge.

“…He believes that the reconfigurability of the virtual laboratory can be considered from two aspects: as the possibility of reconfiguring the operating mode and as the possibility of reconfiguring the virtual robot and virtual laboratory. His research considers too few factors (Lutovac, et al, 2016). Menzies R J believes that although virtual reality (VR) devices have been developed for decades, it is difficult to measure the effectiveness of these devices in immersing the observer.…”
