Simulation environments used for experiments in the papar "Reward-Driven U-Net Training for Obstacle Avoidance Drone"

Development Environment:

OS: Ubuntu 18.04
CPU: Intel i5-7600 3.4GHz Memory: 16 GiB
GPU: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1060/ 3GB
Unreal Engine version: 4.18

3. Go to 'New Project' and choose 'Basic Code' in 'C++'.

4. Create the project(Rememer the path of your project).

5. Open $your_path_to_the_project/your_project_name.uproject with textediting tool.

6. Add the following configuration and then save:
   ...
   "LoadingPhase": "Defalut",
   "AdditionalDependencies":[
   "AirSim"
   ]
   } ],

   "Plugins": [
   {
   "Name": "AirSim",
   "Enabled": true
   }
   ]
   }

   Final uproject file should look like 'sample.uproject' attached in this repository.

7. Copy Airsim plugin directory into your project folder.
   Example command in Ubuntu : cp -r your_path_to_Airsim/Unreal/Plugins your_path_to_the_project/

8. Remove the 'Content' directory in your project folder.
   Example command in Ubuntu : rm -r your_path_to_the_project/Content

9. Download one of our simulation environments and extract it into your_path to_the_project
