I need a simple simulation of a drone where I can have some in flight control and also can get real time sensor values.

    A Robust and Efficient Trajectory Planner for Quadrotors

  • hector_quadrotor is the "go-to" sim environment for drone tasks, but it is not the most well-maintained framework. The HKUST group recently published some interesting work at ICRA2020. It appears they built their own simulator to design and test their algorithms. Might be worth looking into.

  • rosflight_ros_pkgs

    ROS packages for the ROSflight autopilot

  • I've worked with such software. The ROSflight environment provides simulators. If you are simulating a fixed-wing plane, install ROSflight and ROSplane. If you are simulating a multirotor, install ROSflight and ROScopter. Then you can use the launch files in "rosplane_sim" or "roscopter_sim" to start the simulation. I know that all three packages work with Kinetic, Noetic, and Melodic, because I was the one that updated them.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

    RotorS is a UAV gazebo simulator

  • One other option is to use the RotorS Simulation package for ROS developed by ASL, ETH-Z. https://github.com/ethz-asl/rotors_simulator
