  • Needs Unity Editor: Its packages and tutorials run inside the Unity Editor, a proprietary game engine under Unity's own terms.

Overview

What it does: Robotheca's summary

  • Simulation Pro adds a URDF importer for drag-and-drop robot import into Unity.
  • It simulates Lidar, RGB-D and IMU sensors out of the box.
  • It supports ROS 2 communication so Unity can exchange messages with ROS-based hardware.
  • A headless Linux build target enables parallel simulation across existing hardware.
  • A five-module written course covers importing a robot, messages, sensors, live ROS 2 connection and data export.
  • Archived content for unsupported packages is kept separately in ARCHIVE.md.
