UAV simulation in lunar environment

Hello Everyone

My question is it is possible to simulate and perform communication between multiple UAV in lunar environment using MATLAB and SIMULINK. If yes, which toolbox we need to use.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Kajal,

You can use UAV toolbox provided by MathWorks to simulate multiple UAVs using multiple "Simulation 3D UAV Vehicle" blocks: https://www.mathworks.com/help/uav/ref/simulation3duavvehicle.html . The "Simulation 3D UAV Vehicle" block implements an UAV in a 3D simulation environment, with the environment rendered using Unreal Engine. The block requires "Simulation 3D Scene Configuration" present in the model for implementing the 3D scene environment.

For sending and receiving messages between UAVs you can use "MAVLink Support": https://www.mathworks.com/help/uav/mavlink-support.html. Please note that simulating models with the Simulation 3D UAV Vehicle block requires Simulink 3D Animation.

Addtionally you can refer to the following series of webinars from MathWorks for developing UAV applications in MATLAB and Simulink:

Hope this helps!
