Abstract: Sensor simulation is an important aspect in many envisaged simulation scenarios dealing with robotics. This contribution focuses on a novel sensor simulation approach of optical sensors supported by the renderer. The term 'Virtual Testbeds' has been coined for these close-to-reality simulations containing considering complete mission scenarios as a whole instead of focusing on a variety of details. A novel approach for sensor simulation is introduced, which is based on a modular framework architecture that supports the integration of real and virtual sensors, as well as different kinds of error models. Combining simulation data and techniques with those originally developed for 3D rendering, synergy effects arise. Improved simulation accuracy is achieved, whilst simultaneously increasing the performance significantly. The practical applicability is demonstrated in different Virtual Testbed scenarios ranging from the simulation of wood harvesting processes in simula!
ted forests up to the virtual prototyping of space exploration robots.
