LOTUSim simulator enhances marine robotics training with multi-domain capabilities

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

LOTUSim is a new open-source, real-time maritime simulator designed for training and mission rehearsal in marine robotics. It supports multi-user interaction across aerial, surface, and underwater robotic systems for coordinated operations. The simulator features a computationally efficient, Ekman-inspired underwater current model that captures depth-dependent flow dynamics with improved accuracy over traditional models. AI

IMPACT Enhances simulation capabilities for marine robotics, potentially accelerating development and training in the field.

    LOTUSim: Multi-Domain Simulator for Marine Robotics

    Simulation is essential for maritime robotics, supporting operator training, mission rehearsal, and human-vehicle interaction in environments where real-world testing is costly or hazardous. Existing simulators focus primarily on autonomy systems and often lack human-in-the-loop …
