The robot development, as described above, had
to be examined in order to i. understand the way the
proposed robot operates; ii. check its performance
and compare it with the specifications; iii. assure
the logic of the tiling program; and iv. check that
the robot’s arm does not collide with the existing
environment, such as the building elements walls,
columns, etc.. and the components of the robotic
system itself. Based on previous experience w8,11x, it
was decided to use graphic simulation for this purpose.
This section briefly describes the graphic simulator
and the performance analysis.
