Abstract (en)
One of the most useful tools in the design of path-planning solutions is simulators. Thanks to them, it is possible to predict the performance of certain control strategies. In this paper, a simulator is presented that implements a swarm of automatons, which perform a wild motion in a user-selected environment. The robots will have the quality to avoid collisions with different obstacles that affect their mobility since they are equipped with proximity sensors. The interface of this simulator was designed entirely with the Qt Designer software. Successful configurations that replicate the performance of the real prototype are presented.

Una de las herramientas más útiles en el diseño de soluciones de planificación de trayectorias son los simuladores. Gracias a ellos, es posible predecir el rendimiento de determinadas estrategias de control. En este trabajo se presenta un simulador que implementa un enjambre de autómatas que realizan un movimiento salvaje en un entorno seleccionado por el usuario. Los robots tendrán la cualidad de evitar colisiones con diferentes obstáculos que afecten a su movilidad ya que están equipados con sensores de proximidad. La interfaz de este simulador se ha diseñado íntegramente con el software Qt Designer. Se presentan configuraciones exitosas que replican el desempeño del prototipo real.
