V-Rep Introduction and Bump Sensor Implementation 

This video is a live recording of a Knowledge Seminar given on November 26,2013 at the UBC Okanagan campus.
The video covers general operation principles of the Virtual Robotics Experimentation Platform (V-REP) simulator (www.coppeliarob...) and implements a bump sensor on an Ackermann steering model. You can download the sample model that I use as part of the tutorial at: ubcomechatronic...
I apologize for any mistakes that I made in the video as I am still new to V-REP. There may be better/easier ways of implementing these concepts.
The V-REP manual has some excellent step-by-step tutorials and is available at:www.coppeliarob...
