Football Table Simulation Visualization Tool

Information

A simulator is developed to easily test new algorithms without depending on the actual robot. Also, tests can be performed at a faster pase. This makes it easier to study problems such as higher level gameplay strategies. This simulation is created with use of MORSE, which is a Multiple Open Robot Simulator.

Together with this simulator, a visualization tool (GUI) is developed to visualize the sensor data of the football table. This tool is connected with the simulator or the table and provides the interface to the user.

These different systems: Simulator, Football Table and the GUI are connected with use of the Yarp Middleware.
