将RISC-V虚拟平台与机器人仿真融合，实现能耗感知的全流程设计验证。
MEbots: Integrating a RISC-V Virtual Platform with a Robotic Simulator for Energy-aware Design
- 通过整合MESSY与Webots，实现软硬件协同仿真。
- 支持任务级能耗分析，验证不同电源管理策略效果。
- 开源框架适合嵌入式系统与机器人能效优化研究者使用。
虚拟平台（VP）可提前验证自主系统电子部分的软件，降低开发成本并缩短上市时间。尽管许多虚拟平台支持功能性和非功能性仿真（如时序、功耗），但缺乏对系统运行环境的模拟；而机器人仿真器则缺少精确的时序和功耗特性。这种双重缺陷限制了设计流程的有效性，使开发者无法全面评估设计方案的性能。本文提出一种全新的全开源框架，将基于RISC-V的虚拟平台MESSY与机器人仿真器Webots相集成，实现电子系统在真实环境中的任务级、能耗感知协同仿真，有效支持设计配置探索及先进电源管理策略的验证。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Virtual Platforms (VPs) enable early software validation of autonomous systems' electronics, reducing costs and time-to-market. While many VPs support both functional and non-functional simulation (e.g., timing, power), they lack the capability of simulating the environment in which the system operates. In contrast, robotics simulators lack accurate timing and power features. This twofold shortcoming limits the effectiveness of the design flow, as the designer can not fully evaluate the features of the solution under development. This paper presents a novel, fully open-source framework bridging this gap by integrating a robotics simulator (Webots) with a VP for RISC-V-based systems (MESSY). The framework enables a holistic, mission-level, energy-aware co-simulation of electronics in their surrounding environment, streamlining the exploration of design configurations and advanced power management policies.
