Using the 3D simulator CoppeliaSim to control a group of interconnected objects

In CoppeliaSim, managing interconnected objects often involves managing their hierarchical relationships and dynamic properties. The problem of implementing the planned formation of a group of interconnected objects, even in the event of failure of the primary objects that provide information transfer to other objects, is considered. An algorithmic system using autonomous systems methods to ensure self-organization of a group of objects is proposed. An algorithmic system for controlling three interconnected objects in the CoppeliaSim 3D simulator has been developed. Subsequently, using the same software platform in combination with a Python script, an algorithmic system was created that was capable of maintaining and restoring the structure of objects in the event of damage to the main objects that transmit information to other objects. This endeavor involves integrating autonomous algorithmic techniques to achieve effective control and maintenance of group formation while simultaneously overcoming obstacles, thereby enhancing the overall robustness and adaptability of the system. Using the capabilities of autonomous navigation technologies, a reliable and autonomous control system for a group of interconnected moving objects has been developed, capable of effectively responding to unexpected challenges, while demonstrating high adaptability and stability in conditions of dynamic interaction.
