Cuboid Scenario Simulation

Rapidly author UAV scenarios, generate low-fidelity sensor data, and test algorithms in a simplified simulation environment

Create and simulate low-fidelity UAV scenarios using the uavScenario object. Generate simulated GPS, INS, and lidar sensor readings. Simulate wind effects on UAVs using steady, gust, and turbulence wind models.

As an alternative, UAV Toolbox also provides the Unreal Engine® simulation environment that enables you to visualize scenarios using more realistic graphics and to generate high-fidelity sensor data. For more information, see Unreal Engine Scenario Simulation.
