This is a central repository for tools, tutorials, resources, and documentation for robotic simulation in Unity.

If you have questions please feel free to contact us here.

• TCP Endpoint ROS Package
  • A ROS node for sending/receiving messages from Unity.
• TCP Connection Unity Scripts
  • A set of Unity components for sending/receiving messages from ROS.
• URDF Importer
  • A Unity plugin for loading URDF files (Unified Robot Description Format)
• Articulations Robot Demo
  • A robot simulation, demonstrating Unity's new physics solver.

• Knowledge of ROS and a working ROS environment
  • This tutorial was made using ROS Melodic and Python 2.
• Unity 2020.2 or newer

• ROS–Unity Integration
  • How to set up simple communication between ROS and Unity.
• URDF Importer
• Pick-and-Place End-to-End
  • A complete end-to-end robotics environment - a simulated robot defined in URDF, controlled via two-way communication with ROS.

We have published a series of blog posts that are relevant for Unity Robotics:

• (November 12, 2020) Unite Now 2020: Simulating Robots with ROS and Unity
• (August 26, 2020) Announcing Unity robotic simulation
• (May 20, 2020) Use articulation bodies to easily prototype industrial designs with realistic motion and behavior

In addition to robot simulation, here are some additional, relevant Unity simulation products:

• Unity Industrial Simulation
• Training a performant object detection ML model on synthetic data using Unity Perception tools (Unity Perception Github Repository)
