SIMULATION SYSTEM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform a simulation capable of reproducing a motion nearly equivalent to the one in a real world. SOLUTION: A simulation system includes: a simulation unit for simulating data that can be obtained by a sensor installed in a robot; a sensor data correction unit for determining whether points with attributes added thereto are included in obtained sensor data obtained by the sensor, performing correction according to a sensor data correction parameter on a group of points with attributes included therein, and outputting corrected sensor data; a virtual robot position and posture estimation unit for estimating a position and posture of a robot in a 2D environment map through a process of comparison between the output corrected sensor data and an attribute reflection 2D environment map, and outputting estimated virtual robot position and posture data; a movement target position determination unit for determining a subsequent movement destination; and a movement unit for updating a virtual robot position and posture according to a determined value.
