This project aims to create a fully functional 2D simulation of a robotized production factory, entirely implemented in Java.
It simulates mobile robots moving through a structured factory layout, performing tasks such as transporting items, avoiding obstacles, managing energy levels, and recharging autonomously.
This simulator was developed as part of an object-oriented programming course (INF112) at Télécom Paris.
The project focuses on modeling and simulating a robot factory environment to put into practice core OOP principles, including:
- Abstraction and polymorphism
- Interfaces and delegation
- MVC architectural design
- Clean code structure and exception handling
Inspired by the Cyber-Physical Systems Lab at Hasso Plattner Institute of Potsdam, Germany (link), this simulation is both a learning tool and a software design exercise.
- ✅ Simulated 2D factory environment
- 🤖 Multiple mobile robots with customizable tasks
- 🔋 Energy consumption tracking and autonomous recharging behavior
- 🚧 Obstacle avoidance logic
- 💾 Save/load simulation state to disk
- 🖥️ Integrated GUI for visualization
⚠️ Robust exception handling (e.g., file access issues)
- Java (OOP design)
- Java Swing (for GUI rendering)
- Custom-built simulation engine
- Object-oriented design patterns (MVC, delegation, abstraction)
- Factory: The main environment, including rooms, doors, machines, and charging stations
- Robot: Simulated agents that navigate based on predefined routes
- Production Machine: Static factory elements that generate or process items (e.g., washers)
- Charging Station: Where robots automatically go when low on battery
- Simulation Controller: Coordinates robot movement and GUI updates
- Graphical Interface: A visual overview of the factory and robot actions
