Introduction of RoboCup Rescue Virtual Robot League

Abstract

RoboCup world champion ship has the Rescue Virtual Robot League (RVRL). The simulation environment of RVRL consists of Unified System for Automation and Robot Simulator (USARSim) and Wireless Simulation Server (WSS). USARSim is a realistic and realtime physical simulator with several rescue robot models and victims, sensors, obstacles, some convenience parts for making disaster field model. WSS is used for simulating wireless communication trouble caused by the environment. Those RVRL simulation environment is good at an education scene in robotics. The realistic simulator's representation will not only keep but also increase student's motivation. WSS will change the simulated disaster field into challenging and wondering one for making awesome robotic programs. Students will be able to become making effective and useful robotic programs more fast and easy than before. Those are reasons to introduce the simulation environment of the RoboCup Rescue Virtual Robot League.
