Development of an Educational Virtual Mobile Robot Simulation.

Nowadays robot are widely used in many fields. Recognizing its importance, robotics course has been included as part of Engineering and Computer Science undergraduate curriculum. Teaching students using physical robots can be an expensive task. Therefore the alternate solution is to utilize computer simulation. This paper describes our experience on developing an educational prototype mobile robot simulation using Microsoft Robotics Studio (MSRS) utilizing its Visual Simulation Environment (VSE) starts from creating the mobile robot, integrating into the environment and controlling the behaviour.
