Abstract

Recently, robot hardware platforms have improved significantly and many researchers are working on applying artificial intelligence to robots. However, developing robots is challenging and takes exorbitant costs. Also, even if you primarily focus on robot intelligence, you may not be able to evaluate intelligence algorithms without recognition, manipulation among others. In this paper, we present Robot Intelligence Development Environment (RIDE), a simulator for robotic intelligence development. RIDE makes it possible to test robot intelligence easily with its RIDE editor and built-in synthetic vision mechanism. Also we show the feasibility of RIDE with case studies.
