A typical feature of autonomous systems is mobility. A robot that performs the intended task needs to move physically within an environment, and must inevitably incorporate a certain autonomy that allows it to move safely, avoiding obstacles and not posing a threat to any nearby living beings.
Obviously, different levels of autonomy can be identified, from fully autonomous systems that never, or almost never, require human intervention, to remote controlled systems that can be more or less autonomous, depending on whether they rely solely on the commands given to them or whether some part of the operations is decided by the robot itself.
To create an automatic system to control the mobility of a robot, it is essential to have a suitable environment that allows us to simulate the system in a virtual environment. In this way, we will...
