Automate Testing for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Obstacle Avoidance

Obstacle avoidance algorithms make Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) safer by avoiding collisions during flights. To verify the obstacle avoidance algorithms in simulation, the UAV can be tested in different scenarios. These scenarios are difficult to setup without a visual reference. Learn how to perform flight testing in simulation with various test setups using UAV Toolbox and Simulink^®.

By linking requirements to the Simulink model and implementing the obstacle avoidance algorithm using Vector Field Histogram blocks, the video showcases how automated tests can be added and executed to verify the safety distance requirement for a drone.

The demo will cover:

• Constructing an experimental flight sequence
• Simulation, debugging, and collecting metrics
• Tracing requirements and running unit tests using Simulink Requirements™ and Simulink Test™.
