Photorealistic Robotic Simulation using Unreal Engine 5 for Agricultural Applications
<|reference_start|>Photorealistic Robotic Simulation using Unreal Engine 5 for Agricultural Applications: This work presents a new robotics simulation environment built upon Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) for agricultural image data generation. The simulation utilizes the state-of-the-art real-time rendering engine to provide realistic plant images which are often used in agricultural applications. This study showcases the rendering accuracy of UE5 in comparison to existing tools and assesses its positional accuracy when integrated with Robot Operating Systems (ROS). The results indicate that UE5 achieves an impressive average distance error of 0.021mm when compared to predetermined setpoints in a multi-robot setup involving two UR10 arms.<|reference_end|>
