    MOBS  ist  the abbrevation for "Mobile rOBot Simulator".  The simulator
emulate the behaviour of the mobile robot "RobuterII", which is a available
product  of  the  french  company  "Robosoft".   The  aim  is  to  build an
inexpensive   development-environment   for  writting  sensor-based  robot-
applications.

   This  robot is a command-driven vehicle with up to 24 ultrasonic-sensors
at  the sides and cameras attached to the working-plate.  If you don't have
a  real  Robuter  or  at  least  the  manuals this program may be useless!

    The  user  has the possibility to create and edit his own 3D-enviroment
by placing and changing simple objects or the predefined "Robuter" into the
simulation-world.   The  simulator  emulates  the  command-interface of the
robot  and computes the tof-values for the ultrasonic-sensors or generate a
image from the view of the camera.  The user can input the robuter-commands
by hand or write his own 'intelligent' applications and connect them via an
interface-library to the simulator.
