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.

​
Selecting a Robot Type

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.

​
Aerial Robots

Aerial category encompasses various models of aerial drones, each suited to different simulation needs.

Available aerial robots include:

  • Agricultural Drone
  • eVTOL
  • Freefly Alta X
  • Freefly Astro
  • Holybro S500
  • Matrice
  • ModalAI Starling 2 Max
  • Phantom

​
Wheeled Robots

Ground vehicles that can be used for various simulation scenarios, such as autonomous driving, warehouses, offroad scenarios. Available wheeled robots include:

  • Agile X Hunter
  • Agile X Scout
  • Clearpath Husky
  • Delivery Robot
  • Farm-ng Amiga
  • Forklift
  • Offroad
  • Robomaster
  • Rover
  • SUV
  • Tractor

​
Manipulation Robots

Robotic arms used for picking, placing, assembly, and other industrial or research tasks requiring precise movement and control. Available manipulation robots include:

  • Franka Panda
  • UR5e

​
Quadrupeds

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:

  • Unitree Go2
  • Unitree A1
  • Anymal C

​
Bipeds

Humanoid robots with two legs, designed to mimic human movement and interaction. Available biped robots include:

  • Cassie

​
Humanoids

Robots designed to resemble humans in appearance and movement. Available humanoid robots include:

  • Unitree G1
  • Unitree H1

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.

Initial Position and Geo-Location Configuration

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.
