SIMULATION OF THE TRAJECTORY OF A MOBILE ROBOT IN FLOWCODE

Abstract

Urgency of the research. Simulation is used to simulate the real movement of the robot, to test the software and capabilities of the robot before assembling it. It makes it possible to change and improve the program code during the testing process in order to implement it in practice at the end. A simulation is a free testing platform without additional financial costs. Target setting. Simulate the movement of a robot using Flowcode, without composing a real robot when it is unavailable. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Currently, research focuses on similar issues, as there are currently limitations through which design and testing takes place remotely outside the workshops. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. The current solution of using the Flowcode program allows the implementation of programming, modelling, and simulation of work in one program. The research objective. The purpose of the article is to give an idea of how to do a robot motion simulation to test the functionality of program code without using physical robot. The statement of basic materials. For realization the robot simulation, need to have computer with basic configuration and a licensed version of Flowcode software installed. Conclusions. The published article presents the idea of programming and simulating the movement of a mobile robot using Flowcode software, which will help reduce financial costs and time before creating a real robot. Testing the functionality of the program code and the possibility of remote operation without a physical object.
