Chapter 12 - Visual Programming Examples

Summary

Several more sophisticated examples are included in this chapter to show off the features of VPL and how to take advantage of existing services.

The examples use the simulation environment instead of actual robot hardware so that they are accessible to everyone. In most cases, they can be converted to run with actual hardware just by changing the manifest that is used. For instance, there is a second example of the Arm Mover that works with a real Lynx L6 arm.

Simple examples are provided that show how to control actuators and also how to read data from sensors.

Contents

This chapter contains five VPL examples. The links below provide more information.

In addition to these examples, there are some other projects that are used to support them:

The Cyclone simulated sumo robot from Chapter 9 can be used in the VPLSumo.
