The recent trend of Virtual Reality (VR) already found its way into entertainment and scientific applications. While current entertainment domains fully exploit the technical possibilities of modern graphics hardware and state of the art rendering approaches, many VR simulation system in scientific contexts put the focus on numerical results with rather functional representations. The objective of the novel research field of eRobotics is to effectively use electronic media to achieve the best possible advancements in the development of robotics-related applications. Corresponding eRobotics systems take the step from rather functional scientific simulations to attractive demonstrators using VR technologies, which can not only be applied in motivating eLearning scenarios but also in full-featured engineering applications in the context of virtual testbeds and cyber-physical systems. In this paper, we will introduce concepts and system structures that provide new opportunities for the development of a complex but comprehensive multidisciplinary development support tool. A broad range of practical applications in different domains will demonstrate the benefits of connecting the areas of eLearning, virtual training and engineering in a holistic eRobotics system.
Today, simulation systems are an essential part in research and development. While current entertainment domains fully exploit the technical possibilities of modern graphics hardware and state of the art rendering approaches, many Virtual Reality (VR) simulation system in scientific contexts put the focus on numerical results with rather functional representations. The novel research field of eRobotics can be understood as an eService related to advanced robotic applications in eSystems engineering using VR technologies. The concepts of semantic world models and graph databases provide new opportunities for the development of a new class of modern multi-domain VR simulation systems that combine the benefits of scientific simulations and attractive computer graphics. Corresponding eRobotics systems take the step from rather functional scientific simulations to attractive demonstrators, which can equally be applied in motivating virtual training and eLearning scenarios. In this paper, we will introduce novel system structures and techniques for the realization of practical eRobotics systems. Practical applications in a broad range of domains in industry, environment and space will demonstrate the benefits of this unifying approach, which correlates closely with the ideas of the recent trend of "Gamification".
Today Virtual Reality (VR) simulation technology is a well-known field of virtual training and engineering and widely applied in research and in the industry. Multi-domain VR simulation systems cover multiple technical and visual aspects not limited to a single task or domain. While current systems mostly neglect the rendering component and provide purely functional graphics and simple virtual environments, we present the concepts of eRobotics and matching system structures to combine complex simulations and realistic virtual environments in a holistic VR simulation system. These environments not only provide attractive visual presentations, they also help to realize close-to-reality testing of virtual prototypes and positively affect the accuracy and performance of simulated components like optical sensors.
The Robot Programming Network (RPN) is an initiative for creating a network of robotics education laboratories with remote programming capabilities. It consists of both online open course materials and online servers that are ready to execute and test the programs written by remote students. Online materials include introductory course modules on robot programming, mobile robotics and humanoids, aimed to learn from basic concepts in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to more advanced programming skills. The students have access to the online server hosts, where they submit and run their programming code on the fly. The hosts run a variety of robot simulation environments, and access to real robots can also be granted, upon successful achievement of the course modules. The learning materials provide step-by-step guidance for solving problems with increasing level of difficulty. Skill tests and challenges are given for checking the success, and online competitions are scheduled for additional motivation and fun. Use of standard robotics middleware (ROS) allows the system to be extended to a large number of robot platforms, and connected to other existing tele-laboratories for building a large social network for online teaching of robotics.
Multi-domain VR simulation systems provide a framework to bring together various modules in order to achieve the desired goals. Due to different data structure needs regarding rendering and simulation tasks, common systems typically focus on one of these areas. In complex technical or mechatronical systems like mobile robotic applications, rendering capabilities are mostly neglected. Hence, the used models are designed with minimal effort resulting in purely functional virtual environments with low visual quality. The novel field of eRobotics is currently being developed as an intuitively applicable eService related to VR in advanced robotic and engineering applications. In this contribution, we will introduce novel system structures and techniques, which meet the requirements to realize a holistic eRobotics development support tool, combining complex simulations with state-of-the art rendering techniques. Semantic world models build the ideal basis in order to combine both areas. Readily available data like provided by geo information services (GIS) can be used as input for the creation of close-to-reality virtual testing environments with minimal effort. Additionally, the close interplay of simulation and rendering modules allows making the transition from a passive render component towards an active one, further improving the accuracy and performance of non-rendering-related tasks like optical sensor simulations.
