apollo VS AirSim

Assume I wanted to make a RC car drive within a perimeter. Say a table. What would be the best way to achieve this?

I see https://github.com/ApolloAuto/apollo exists which is an autonomous driving software. But I feel that is over kill.

I was trying to imagine either using a sort of electric fence, like a dog collar, and maybe something more analog to be able to detect the perimeter and just have it know to stop or reverse with a quick servo.

I saw a video of a Tesla swerving around a pedestrian the other day too, also scary

It is interesting to compare the various systems safety pages

- https://github.com/ApolloAuto/apollo (Baidu based)

The last two's minimalism around safety is not reassuring

Here is Apollo's stack in detail: https://github.com/apolloAuto/apollo/

Apollo is the name of the autonomous driving platform, not this bus in particular. https://github.com/ApolloAuto/apollo

Have created all widgets, code compile successfully but have problem with replay spectator. Im using plugin AirSim https://github.com/microsoft/AirSim it is plugin that simulate drone. It has own gamemode AirsimGamemode (here is c++ file https://github.com/microsoft/AirSim/tree/main/Unreal/Plugins/AirSim/Source) that spawn drone at start. Problem is that I cant assign BP_PC_Spectator there. So I created own gamemode that I thought will override AirSimGameMode. It kinda did, it spawned drone on start but replay spectator widget show record screen, but it is not shown on play replay screen and I cannot move there as well.

Hi, I implemented path planner as node in ROS. Now I want to try the route planner in the AirSim simulator. During path execution, I want to get outputs from sensors such as GPS, IMU and Lidar. AirSim come with build in wrapper (https://github.com/microsoft/AirSim/tree/main/ros/src/airsim_ros_pkgs) that create topic and services once launched. Wrapper create two nodes, one to obtain sensors data and one to control drone. Wrapper is build in AirSim directory and path planer is in another. Is it possible to share msg so I can call and subscribe to wrapper topics in my planner node ? Or do I have to write msg for every topic, service I want to use ?

And there are also some open-source projects you could join, instead of starting a new one. This one looks interesting, haven't tried it though: https://github.com/Microsoft/AirSim

In 2017 Microsoft created AirSim, an open-source simulation platform for AI research and experimentation with drones and cars. This July, Microsoft announced the upcoming release of a new simulation platform and the archive of the original 2017 AirSim.

I've been trying for a while now and I started thinking it may not be possible. If anyone has managed to train a self-driving car simulator using openai gym on google colab(preferably), or on any remote server (AWS, GCP, ...) please let me know. So far, I tried carla, airsim, svl, deepdrive and they are all equally useless unless run locally with a gui. I'd really appreciate if someone suggests some way that actually can make it possible.
