A simulation study: the Mobile Robot Lab

We now describe the Mobile Robot Lab (MRL), a simulation environment we are developing for mobile robots that function as GLAIR-conformant autonomous agents. The simulation is relatively simple, but nevertheless provides a rich and realistic enough environment to function as a testbed for the development of physical GLAIR-agents. To make the simulation more realistic and less predictable, some stochastic properties are built in. More than one agent can be accommodated. A complete setup using MRL consists of a GLAIR-agent, a simulator with an incorporated description of a physical environment, and a graphical interface (figure ).
