Robot simulator (http://rossum.sourceforge.net /)

Interacting with the demo's (http://rossum.sourceforge.net /)

	the registration at the left shows the floor plan for the Trinity College fire-fighting home robot contest. the server (simulator) reads the floor plan at start up. by default, the server runs with a graphical user interface (GUI ). if you are running time trials or wish to treat the server as a background process, you can suppress the GUI by adjusting options in the RP1 properties file (see the users's guide for more details .) the simulated robot in the lower-left section of the display was uploaded by the client application when it connected to the server. although the server provides a virtual world, the inhabitants of that world are provided by the client applications. the red circle with the letter "F" indicates the target, a candle representing the fire which the robot contestant is to extinguish. the green "homeplate" represents the home placement, the robot's starting position.
