For cars, you can use arrow keys to drive manually. - -[More details](https://microsoft.github.io/AirSim/remote_control) - -![record screenshot](docs/images/AirSimDroneManual.gif) - -![record screenshot](docs/images/AirSimCarManual.gif) - - -### Programmatic control - -Colosseum exposes APIs so you can interact with the vehicle in the simulation programmatically. You can use these APIs to retrieve images, get state, control the vehicle and so on. The APIs are exposed through the RPC, and are accessible via a variety of languages, including C++, Python, C# and Java. - -These APIs are also available as part of a separate, independent cross-platform library, so you can deploy them on a companion computer on your vehicle. This way you can write and test your code in the simulator, and later execute it on the real vehicles. Transfer learning and related research is one of our focus areas. - -Note that you can use [SimMode setting](https://microsoft.github.io/AirSim/settings#simmode) to specify the default vehicle or the new [ComputerVision mode](https://microsoft.github.io/AirSim/image_apis#computer-vision-mode-1) so you don't get prompted each time you start Colosseum. - -[More details](https://microsoft.github.io/AirSim/apis) - -### Gathering training data - -There are two ways you can generate training data from Colosseum for deep learning. The easiest way is to simply press the record button in the lower right corner. This will start writing pose and images for each frame. The data logging code is pretty simple and you can modify it to your heart's content. - -![record screenshot](docs/images/record_data.png) - -A better way to generate training data exactly the way you want is by accessing the APIs. This allows you to be in full control of how, what, where and when you want to log data. - -### Computer Vision mode - -Yet another way to use Colosseum is the so-called "Computer Vision" mode. In this mode, you don't have vehicles or physics. You can use the keyboard to move around the scene, or use APIs to position available cameras in any arbitrary pose, and collect images such as depth, disparity, surface normals or object segmentation. - -[More details](https://microsoft.github.io/AirSim/image_apis) - -### Weather Effects - -Press F10 to see various options available for weather effects. You can also control the weather using [APIs](https://microsoft.github.io/AirSim/apis#weather-apis). Press F1 to see other options available. - -![record screenshot](docs/images/weather_menu.png) - -## Tutorials - -- [Video - Setting up Colosseum with Pixhawk Tutorial](https://youtu.be/1oY8Qu5maQQ) by Chris Lovett -- [Video - Using Colosseum with Pixhawk Tutorial](https://youtu.be/HNWdYrtw3f0) by Chris Lovett -- [Video - Using off-the-self environments with Colosseum](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y09VbdQWvQY) by Jim Piavis -- [Webinar - Harnessing high-fidelity simulation for autonomous systems](https://note.microsoft.com/MSR-Webinar-AirSim-Registration-On-Demand.html) by Sai Vemprala -- [Reinforcement Learning with Colosseum](https://microsoft.github.io/AirSim/reinforcement_learning) by Ashish Kapoor -- [The Autonomous Driving Cookbook](https://aka.ms/AutonomousDrivingCookbook) by Microsoft Deep Learning and Robotics Garage Chapter -- [Using TensorFlow for simple collision avoidance](https://github.com/simondlevy/AirSimTensorFlow) by Simon Levy and WLU team - -## Participate - -### Paper - -More technical details are available in [Colosseum paper (FSR 2017 Conference)](https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.05065).
