Massively multi-robot simulation in stage (2008, background): “USARSim aims for accurate dynamic models, and has been shown to support large worlds, though no data are available for large robot populations (Carpin et al. 2007).”
A Systematic Review of Perception System and Simulators for Autonomous Vehicles Research (2019, background): “USARSim comes with several detailed models of robots available for use in simulations; however, it is possible to create custom robot components in external 3D modeling software and specify physical attributes of the components once they are loaded into the simulator.”
Research Advance in Swarm Robotics (2013, background): “USARSim USARSim [105], shorted for Urban Search and Rescue Simulation, is a high fidelity multi-robot simulator originally developed for search and rescue (SAR) research activities of the Robocup contest.”
UnrealCV: Connecting Computer Vision to Unreal Engine (2016, methodology): “Unreal Engine 2 (UE2) was used for robotics simulation in USARSim[3], but UE2 is no longer available and USARSim is no longer actively maintained.”
High-fidelity simulation for evaluating robotic vision performance (2016, methodology): “The use of game engines for robot simulation is also not new, with the USARsim project based on the Unreal Tournament 3 engine [2], and other projects using the Unity engine [10].”
On the use of simulation in robotics: Opportunities, challenges, and suggestions for moving forward (2020, methodology): “Gazebo (20, 21) has made good strides in this direction, continuing in the tradition of previous tools like USARSim (22).”
Comprehensive Simulation of Quadrotor UAVs Using ROS and Gazebo (2012, background): “Quadrotor UAVs can be simulated using USARsim [7], but a recently published ROS integration [2] is of limited scope.”
