How can you create a realistic environment for your robot deployment? And, indeed, should your simulation be highly realistic? It’s important to understand the delicate balance between realism and usefulness in robotic simulations. On the one hand, high-level realism allows you to create a more accurate depiction of how the robot will perform in a real-world setting. This helps you to create simulations that more closely match the operating conditions in your facility. On the other hand, striving for absolute realism in your simulation can compromise its usefulness. The simulation can become o ..read more
