Motivation. Despite significant progress in the field of creating unmanned systems, ensuring the necessary level of their autonomy remains an topicality task. Artificial intelligence plays an important role in its solution. Features of unmanned systems gave rise to a new model of Feeling Artificial Intelligence (FAI) that supports autonomy. The goal of this work is to create an artificial environment model for experiments with unmanned systems supported by FAI using the example of a container warehouse serviced by a wheeled robot. The object of research is the methods and models of controlling autonomous mobile robots based on data from various sensors. Results. The architecture of the artificial environment, the basic components of the system with a multi-layered organization are described. Using the example of the artificial environment "Container Warehouse" as a prototype of an autonomous unmanned system serviced by a wheeled robot, a set of controllers, an example of sensor and actuator connection schemes, control methods and algorithms that are required at the basic level are shown. The justification of the method of identification of container numbers, which satisfies the requirements imposed by autonomous systems, is presented. Conclusions. It is proven that the architecture of the basic level of the artificial environment should be universal in terms of supporting various control methods and algorithms based on various data from sensors. Versatility is achieved due to the multilayered organization of controllers to support the functions of FAI. Experiments with controllers of the basic level of the artificial environment "Container Warehouse" demonstrated the possibility of increasing the level of autonomy of the unmanned system due to the expanded possibilities of using various control methods in the robot's control program at different stages of the plan, taking into account the current situation, which is evaluated on the basis of a set of data from various sensors.Downloads
