Abstract— In robotics, a simulation is an essential stage on a way of transferring a theoretical idea into a real world application. Since each popular simulator for robotics has particular advantages and shortcomings, it could be beneficial to simulate an algorithm behavior in several modelled instances prior to its integration into a real robot control system. This paper presents a new model of the Russian crawler type robot Servosila Engineer for the Webots simulator, which extends our previous work within the Gazebo simulator. The robot control is implemented with Robot Operating System (ROS). Webots-based simulations were reproduced using our mature Servosila Engineer robot model in Gazebo and validated within real random step environments of the laboratory.
