MobileSim is software for simulating MobileRobots/ActivMedia platforms and their environments, for debugging and experimentation with ARIA. It replaces SRIsim previously distributed with ARIA.

MobileSim builds upon the Stage simulator, created by Richard Vaughan, Andrew Howard, and others as part of the Player/Stage project, with some modifications by MobileRobots. This is an early "beta" release of MobileSim and some features are still in development. Please see the README file for some known limitations, and report any suspected bugs to the aria-users mailing list.

MobileSim uses line data from a MobileRobots map (.map) file to simulate walls and other obstacles in the environment. Use Mapper3 or Mapper3Basic to make line-based world maps.

MobileSim has been tested on Windows 2000, Windows XP, RedHat GNU/Linux 7.3, Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 and Debian GNU/Linux 5.0
