Building a simulator for quadrotors
Building a simulator that combines the photorealistic image rendering engine with the ROS framework could greatly help the robotics research community to develop algorithms with the simulator. For example, both two popular open-source simulators, CARLA and AirSim, are supporting ROS.

The goal of this project is to develop a quadrotor simulator that combines our current photorealistic image rendering engine with our existing sensor simulators, e.g., the UAV dynamics simulator and the event camera simulator, that was developed with ROS. You will first familiarize yourself with our existing simulator that already has all the basic components and is ready to run. Then, you have to figure out the most efficient way of organizing the code such that it runs fast. For example, how to retrieve images from the rendering engine and save it? You will be required to write C++ code and compile the simulator in ROS.
