Optimization tool

Post by tjk »

Hello,

I am looking to perform an optimization study to determine ideal robot placement and initial configuration. Are there any built in result analysis tools that can be applied to this task?

Thank you

Tori

Hello Tori,

ideal robot placement and initial configuration is something that is very very specific to a given robot or system. Since V-REP is a generic robot simulator / robotic toolbox, such robot specific analysis tools are not directly supported. But you can easily create your own by writing a little bit of code that uses all the V-REP functionality and API functions. Of course there are calculation modules that can directly be used in order to get an idea about your robot placement (e.g. in order to check the minimum distance between your robot and the environment, you can use the distance calculation module directly).

Cheers
