Simulator, developers of Microsoft Corporation, is now at the beta stage, but even so, it can already help to conduct a virtual crash test of a drone, an unmanned vehicle or a robot, Engadget writes.
"Do you need to make the drone know how to distinguish the shadow from the wall? Surely you would prefer to first test your machine learning program without killing a hundred or so drones against the wall, "write the application developers and suggest using a simulator that they themselves created on the Unreal Engine.
Experts explain that not everyone who is engaged in the creation of artificial intelligence and robotics has time and opportunities to test their development live, and this is fraught with all sorts of unpleasant consequences: a drone or a robot may not move as intended, as a result, the whole party will have to withdraw back, the autopilot will not see the obstacle and will react in a different way than it was planned. In a word, there are a lot of examples.
In order to make such cases less, Microsoft developed the AirSim simulator on the Unreal Engine, creating a virtual environment in which the developer can set the necessary parameters and again check. The program is able to simulate many parameters, including the physics of movement of drones, simulate the rotation of propellers and load a realistic environment.
