THE PLAYER/STAGE PROJECT: TOOLS FOR MULTI-ROBOT AND DISTRIBUTED SENSOR
SYSTEMS
Proceedings of the International Conference on Advanced Robotics (ICAR 2003)
Authors: Brian P. Gerkey; Richard T. Vaughan; Andrew Howard
Summary: Robert Burden

OBJECTIVESGoal of Work
Abstract robotic control into a framework to separate it from
algorithm design
Problems Addressed1. Simple Hardware Software
Interface2. Transparent transition from
Hardware to simulator
Technology ReplacedManually implementing
hardware API’sPorting code between
Hardware and Simulator
Aim of Work
Sensor Network & Robotic Algorithm Researchers

PREVIOUS WORK“Lack of space precludes a detailed comparison of
Player and Stage with their alternatives”….What I think this really means...
“When performing my research I was too lazy to lookup alternatives and describe them”

IMPACTThis paper has been cited by over 1000 research
papers.
The player portion has been extended by derivative work to interface better with various robotic
hardware

EVALUATIONThe paper doesn’t formally evaluate the
system.
It provides various case studies to prove the usefulness
The widespread use of this system is the best evaluation of the design.

DISCUSSION
Do you see the need for this type of framework for VANNET research?
What sort of problems would this system be able help visualize?
