Drone racing is an increasingly popular sport and many world-class pilots use simulators for practicing their skills. This project aims to deploy control algorithms for autonomous drone racing in the Liftoff Drone Racing simulator (https://www.liftoff-game.com/), collect data from the autonomous and human-piloted flight, and perform a benchmark comparison between both. The student will implement a control interface between the Liftoff simulator and an existing ROS-based flight stack, collect and analyze flight performance data. Requirements: Strong programming experience in ROS, C++, and Python. Experience in Unity3D is a plus.
