Abstract: The experimental platform of multi-robot systems costs much and developers are often confronted with problems like hardware aging, malfunction and damage etc. Software architecture of a flexible simulation platform was proposed to solve these problems. This simulator was based on client/server architecture and used a kernel module to organize other functional modules. A concept of plug-in was introduced to build sensor plug-ins and they effectively achieved the simulating of varied sensors. Experiments show the simulator is usable and practicable.
