Utilitarian Robots Acting In A Virtual Medical Center Scene

The paper presents a path-planning problem for two mobile robots acting in a virtual environment. The virtual environment represents the 3D model of the medical center running in the frame of Multiple Users Research Center CMPICSU belonging to POLITECHNICA University of Timisoara - Romania. In the first stage the virtual space has been modeled taking into account the local topography of the rooms and also the robots tasks in the given environment. In the second stage the robots have also been modeled. The path planning method used is based on the cell decomposition method. The virtual reperesentation of all the objects in the workspace is achieved using the OpenGL library.
