Microsoft Project AirSim for aerial autonomy
We are currently entering a new era of discovery, and autonomous aviation autonomy is the most significant development revolutionizing the aerial metaverse. This technology opens the door to innovation by revolutionizing how we imagine, build, and use aerial autonomy, but it has remained out of reach for many due to the extreme complexity required to train these autonomous systems.
Microsoft Project AirSim is an end-to-end platform for safely creating, training, and validating autonomous agents through high-fidelity simulation to address the world’s evolving mobility needs. Project AirSim offers an open, extensible, and modular platform that minimizes effort and enables quicker time to market. It also generates large volumes of data for training AI models at scale and has pre-trained AI building blocks that save time and reduce risk with accurate and programmable simulation environments.
Microsoft undertaking Airsim is an ai-first platform that allows you to mimic any environment and then accelerate autonomy using pre-trained ai models to adapt and expand aerial solutions without the requirement for knowledge in specialist ai and data elements inspired by years of Microsoft research.
AirSim uses real-world synthetic and hybrid data from a plethora of sensors to simulate planet-scale geo-specific environments under countless conditions to safely perceive learn and act. We are providing customers with a programmable platform on which they can build any solution they can imagine, test it in dynamic simulation faster than in real-time, and improve it until it is validated and ready to certify to meet the highest safety standards for deployment in the real world.
Microsoft is working with some of the most visionary partners to learn and discover in ways that simply aren't possible in the real world, with project AirSim Microsoft is accelerating mobility to give customers the power to reimagine their businesses in the age of autonomy and this is just the beginning
