Within the “Robot” tab of the “Create a Session” section, users can select a robot type and configure its specific model and starting parameters for the simulation.This customization is pivotal as it determines the robot’s operational range, adaptability, and the fidelity of the data collection within the simulation.
Users are presented with a choice between aerial and ground robots. Currently, the available options are:
The selected robot model will have predefined capabilities and restrictions. It is essential to choose a model that aligns with the objectives of your simulation.
Ground vehicles that can be used for various simulation scenarios, such as autonomous driving, warehouses, offroad scenarios.
Available wheeled robots include:
Robotic arms used for picking, placing, assembly, and other industrial or research tasks requiring precise movement and control. Available manipulation robots include:
Four-legged robots capable of traversing challenging terrains and maintaining stability in diverse environments. Ideal for search and rescue, inspection, and research applications. Available quadruped robots include:
Robots designed to resemble humans in appearance and movement. Available humanoid robots include:
Unitree G1
Unitree H1
Agility Digit
We are constantly updating our offering of robots and if you want your favorite robot to be added to the list, please let us know on our Discord Community or reach out to us on our email.
After selecting a multirotor model, users can define the initial starting parameters:
Position:Each simulation environment has a pre-defined starting position for the robot. The X, Y, and Z values are offsets from the start position.
Geo Location:This setting is mainly useful for geospatial environments (Google Maps or Bing Maps) where the robot’s initial position is defined by the latitude, longitude, and altitude in decimal format.
The selected robot model will have predefined capabilities and restrictions. It is essential to choose a model that aligns with the objectives of your simulation.
Be mindful of the different flight characteristics and operational constraints associated with each multirotor model. For instance, the Matrice model would offer different flight dynamics and payload capacities compared to the Default drone.
Once the robot type and its initial parameters are configured, users should proceed to the ‘Cameras’ tab to outfit the robot with visual sensors and configure their properties.
