This package includes modules and tools to simulate Vehicles (land, water or aerial vehicles (maybe even space at some point)) similar to a quadcopter or rover, and makes it easy to use it for various A.I. applications such as path following, obstacle avoidance, etc.
It comes with a bunch of sensors that can be attached to the Vehicle or UAV, such as a Camera (RGB and Depth), IMU (motion), and more to come. The simulator can have an "objective" set to generate observations for machine learning applications.
TODO
Install the package using pip from :
pip install git+https://github.com/nb-programmer/dronesim.gitRun the default simulator which launches a window with keyboard controls and a scene with an elliptical path to traverse.
To run the simulator, call the package name in the terminal:
$ dronesimOr alternatively, execute the package using the Python interpreter:
$ python -m dronesimRefer to the examples/ folder for running the simulator with custom controllers. You will need to clone this repo in order to access the examples.
Use the keyboard and mouse to interact with the simulator app.
The default mouse control is set to Free mode with mouse for looking.
