Offroad Autonomy for Heavy Machinery
Develop autonomous systems for offroad vehicles and heavy machinery in construction, agriculture, and mining applications with the Robotics System Toolbox™ Offroad Autonomy Library. This support package provides specialized tools for designing, simulating, and testing autonomy algorithms. Through integration with Unreal Engine®, this support package enables photorealistic scenario simulations to test and refine the performance of offroad vehicles, such as dump trucks and backhoes, under diverse conditions.
To download the Robotics System Toolbox Offroad Autonomy Library support package, see Install Robotics System Toolbox Offroad Autonomy Library Support Package.
