Open source robotics simulator. The latest version of Gazebo.
Simulation & Mapping
A combined engineering entry point for source-backed UAV simulation and aerial mapping records, with scope kept explicit at the project level.

Engineering scope and evidence boundary
Simulation and mapping are kept together on this page because the current release contains one verified simulator record and one verified aerial-mapping tool record, plus related collections and setup guides that describe how engineers encounter both classes of tooling. The page does not claim that a simulator reproduces a specific aircraft, that a mapping pipeline has a stated accuracy, or that two tools are directly compatible. Instead, it provides a transparent index of the records and sends readers to the detail pages for repository evidence, recorded interfaces, licenses, maintenance signals, and retrieval dates. Any claim about sensor models, georeferencing accuracy, compute requirements, or flight-test equivalence must be added only after the relevant SourceRef is available.
Topic membership is an editorial index, not a compatibility or performance claim. Verify each resource through its SourceRef, retrieval date, and verification status.
