MATLAB interface to the MSU Autonomous Vehicle Simulator

MAVS-MATLAB Interface

The MSU Autonomous Vehicle Simulator (MAVS) is simulation library for autonomous ground vehicles (AGV). MAVS is optimized for simulating off-road AGV. MAVS lets you create sensors like lidar and cameras, attach them to a vehicle, and simulate autonomous navigation.

This package interfaces to MATLAB and allows you to use the MATLAB built-in autonomy libraries with the MAVS simulators.

MAVS-MATLAB is free. The MAVS-MATLAB package is a limited version of the full C++ library. The full version of MAVS is free and open source for non-commercial use only.

For commercial licenses, see: https://www.cavs.msstate.edu/capabilities/mavs_request.php

Currently tested only for Windows 10 and MATLAB R2022b, but should work on Windows 11 and MATLAB R2019a and newer (anything with clib).

Installation instructions:

1. Clone the repo:

$git clone https://github.com/CGoodin/mavs-matlab.git

2. From the mavs-matlab directory, run LaunchMavs.m

When running for the first time, you may be asked to specify a new data path folder. If so, select mavs-matlab/mavs/data.
