West Cambridge Airfreight

You can see the project in action through the following steps:

• Install MATLAB R2020b with the following add-ons:

  • Stateflow
  • Navigation Toolbox
  • Aerospace Blockset
  • UAV Toolbox Interface for Unreal Engine Projects
  • UAV Toolbox
  • Symbolic Math Toolbox
  • Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox
  • Simulink
  • Optimization Toolbox
  • Global Optimization Toolbox
  • Control System Toolbox
  • Aerospace Toolbox

• Download the compressed Unreal Engine 4 files for the West Cambridge model: Unreal Engine Files
  (This was too large to put in the submission repository)

• Extract the contents of this file

• Open the project folder in MATLAB

• Open the UAVPackageDelivery.prj project in Simulink by double clicking it in the file explorer

• Navigate to and double click on the Simulation 3D Scene Configuration 1 block in Simulink:
  uavPackageDelivery->External Sensors - Lidar & Camera->SimulationEnvironmentVariant->PhotorealisticQuadrotor

• Ensure the value of the Scene source parameter is Unreal Executable

• Change the value of the File name parameter to the path of the Unreal Engine 4 executable you downloaded earlier WindowsNoEditor->MyProject.exe

• Type westCambridgeTango into the MATLAB command window to run the preparation shortcut

• After the UI window opens, run the model from the Simulink window (green button at the top)

• Wait for the photorealistic simulation to appear before attempting to upload any missions
