SOFTWARE SUITE

MONITOR ALLOWS TO VISUALIZE NAO’S SENSORS AND JOINT MOTORS DATA IN REAL TIME —

You can easily retrieve and graph all data from NAO’s sensors and joints motors. For example, you can illustrate closed loop control by graphing the angle command sent to a joint and the sensor position. You can even see the current used by the motors. It’s essential to enable students to understand the basics concepts used in the various disciplines interlinked with robotics.

MONITORVISUALIZE NAO’S DATA

MONITOR KEY FEATURES

DATA VIEWER— Large data range available: > Actuators (position, electric current, command, temperature, control parameters -Kp, Ki-...)> Sensors (FSR, gyrometer, accelerometer, battery...)

CAMERA VIEWER — Video recorder in QVGA Video live feedback of NAO's cameras. (local network only)

NAOSIM 3D ROBOT SIMULATOR

THIS 3D SIMULATOR ENABLES YOU TO TEST NAO IN A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT AND VALIDATE BEHAVIORS—

The 3D simulation engine allows you to test your developments on a virtual NAO without monopolizing the real NAO. Safely test dynamic behaviors in a virtual environment .This allows you to study differences between a simulated NAO in a virtual world and a real NAO in real word. You can modify the simulation workspace by inserting and modifying user defi ned objects.

NAOSIM KEY FEATURES

SIMULATED SENSORS — Camera 1 Camera 2 Position of joints Inertial sensor FSR Sonars Bumpers

ENVIRONMENT— Physics engine Realistic masses Weightness Collision Simple object addition Manual stimulation of tactile sensors Included worlds examples

SIMULATED ACTIONS— Programmed or user defi ned motions such as stand up, sit down or walk toward

Programmed or used defi ned animations such as dances
