Back in 2017, the Microsoft Research team developed and open-sourced Aerial Informatics and Robotics Simulation (AirSim). On Monday, the team shared how AirSim can be used to solve the current challenges in the development of autonomous systems. Microsoft AirSim is an open-source, cross-platform simulation platform for autonomous systems including autonomous cars, wheeled robotics, aerial drones, and even static IoT devices. It works as a plugin for Epic Games' Unreal Engine. There is also an experimental release for the Unity game engine.
