A unified simulator for Self-Reconfigurable Robots [PDF]
2008 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2008 Generic simulation platforms such as player/stage are an essential tool in mobile robotics, but until now no similar platforms have been available for the field of self-reconfigurable robots. We here present a generic simulation platform for modular, self-reconfigurable robots: the unified simulator for self-reconfigurable robots (USSR).
