mavs-matlab
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).
