Zusammenfassung

Modeling the layout of an apartment - including different furniture configurations and several moving elements - is a non-trivial task, especially if accessibility has to be assured e. g. for wheelchairs. In this paper, we describe a two-staged example for such a task by connecting two different applications: In the first step, the YAMAMOTO toolkit is used to efficiently model the building structure and to plan the furnishing of the environment in 3-D. Afterwards, the desired configuration becomes exported to SimRobot, a robot simulator based on rigid body dynamics. Thereby, a realistic evaluation of the physical configuration becomes possible, e. g. by interactively driving an electrical wheelchair through the environment.
