logos

Requirements

  • A dedicated NVidia GPU (at least MX450, RTX is recommended) or a comparable AMD GPU
  • 3 GB of HDD space

The Maps

Map Name Map Name
Valley Cave
Forest Erding Airbase
Warehouse Infinite forest

Controls

  • m/ESC - show menu for switching graphics and worlds

Installation

Linux

  1. Install the MRS UAV System
  2. Install the MRS UAV System UE5 endpoint
sudo apt install ros-noetic-mrs-uav-unreal-simulation
  1. Download the and unpack Unreal Engine Drone Simulator
  2. Launch the UE5 Simulator by ./ueds.sh. Alternatively, start it in a headless mode via ./ueds.sh -renderOffScreen.
  3. Start the MRS UAV System UE5 endpoint
roscd mrs_uav_unreal_simulation
./tmux/one_drone/start.sh

Windows

Requirements:

  • Windows 11 + updates
  • WSL 2.0
  1. Install Ubuntu 20.04 into the WSL 2.0 using the Microsoft Store
  2. Install the MRS UAV System into WSL 2.0
  3. Create .wslconfig file in C:/Users/<User>/.wslconfig
  4. Place the following content into .wslconfig
[wsl2]
firewall=false
networkingMode=mirrored
debugConsole=false
[experimental]
hostAddressLoopback=true
  1. Restart the WSL by issuing wsl --shutdown into a comand line.
  2. Install the MRS UAV System UE5 endpoint
sudo apt install ros-noetic-mrs-uav-unreal-simulation
  1. Download and unpack the Unreal Engine Drone Simulator
  2. Start the Unreal Engine Drone Simulator
  3. Start the MRS UAV System UE5 endpoint
roscd mrs_uav_unreal_simulation
./tmux/one_drone/start.sh
  1. The first start might require hitting "CTRL+C" in the roscore tab of the tmux session. The roscore is always stuck for the first time after rebooting the computer.

TODO

  • UAVs don't see eachother in their cameras / LiDARS
  • possible coloring of the depth pointcloud using the segmented RGB image
  • ability to switch worlds in C++ from the ROS side
  • ability to switch graphics scaling in C++ from the ROS side
  • finer settings of the graphics scaling than (low, middle, etc).
  • adding weather effects controllable form the ROS side
