Overview
MVSim simulates wheeled robots and vehicles with realistic physics, sensors, and multi-agent support. It is designed to be fast enough for large-scale experiments while remaining accurate enough for dynamics and sensor research.
Key properties:
- Fully configured via XML world files — no code changes needed for most experiments.
- Works standalone, as a ROS 2 node, or embedded in a C++ / Python application.
- Headless mode for CI pipelines and Docker containers.
- Multi-vehicle worlds with mutual sensing (robots see each other in LiDAR).
