Auterion Simulator

Build and run virtual flight-test scenarios with Auterion Simulator.

Auterion Simulator lets you test vehicle, camera, and operator workflows before flight.

Use it to build a virtual fleet, choose its environment, and fly from AMC.

Install

Auterion Simulator runs on Ubuntu. Add the Auterion package repository, then install the stable package:

wget -qO- 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/auterion/public/setup.deb.sh' | sudo -E bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install auterion-simulator-beta

Install Docker https://docs.auterion.com/app-development/app-development/application-development#docker-setup

simulation-gazebo --setup_nvidia

Install AMC from Auterion Suite.

Use the Auterion Simulator reference for supported Ubuntu versions, beta installation, and system requirements.

How it works

  1. Install a collection for the vehicle and environment you need.

  4. Open AMC and test the scenario from Fly View.

The first start takes longer while virtual vehicles prepare. Later starts use ready vehicles.

Collections

A collection bundles compatible simulation content. It can include vehicle images, models, environments, and controls.

Install a collection before creating a scenario:

  1. Open File → Package Library.

  2. Select Browse online and sign in to Suite.

  3. Install the collection you need.

The launcher installs the collection's packages together. Shared packages stay installed when another collection needs them.

Next steps

Use the Auterion Simulator reference for installation, configuration, live controls, and troubleshooting.

Use Hardware in the Loop to run simulations with a physical Skynode.
