Hi. I'm Takeru Kobayashi, a staff of CLUE, Inc. in Japan. URL: https://corp.t-clue.com/ CLUE is an engineering company of drone, and looking for simulator for drone.
I find this simulator so I want to know what is/isn't able to do with it. Can I get any answers of following 12 questions below? Thank you for reading!
Q.01 What kind of data can be inputed to the simulator? For example, stick angle of remote controller, aircraft's attitude, waypoint flight and so on.
Q.02 What kind of data can be output from the simulator? And what kind of data format is it? For example, aircraft's attitude, rotor output, flight path, low-level signal between remote controller and flight controller and so on.
Q.03 How detailed control can it accept? For example, latitude / longitude resolution of waypoints, unit of controller stick angle, time resolution of aircraft's attitude and so on.
Q.04 Can its signal be sent to a real aircraft? We want to real drones (Parrot, DJI, ...) to fly with same conditions used in simulator.
Q.05 Does it collaborate with other software? For example, controllable by ROS or V-rep, programmable by standard language (Python, C++, ...) and so on.
Q.06 Does it render images from simulated camera? If so, how high is its quality? Wireframe, simple solid body or textured object? Environment lighting and landscape can be simulated?
Q.07 What kind of sensor can be simulated? I guess it simulates GPS, IMU (acceleration and gyro) and compass. How about other sensors? For example, LIDAR, thermal sensor, sonar ranging and so on.
Q.08 Can the the simulator run multiple aircrafts at same time?
Q.09 Is that possible to simulate environmental conditions? For example, wind, rain, dynamic environment objects and so on.
Q.10 Can it simulate drone's breakdown?
Q.11 Can it output low-level signal between remote controller and flight controller?
Q.12 Is there any plugin or customization of the simulator?
