Does this simulator support underwater robot dynamics?

Hi @Airporal, currently the simulator focuses more on aerial systems but can be extended to underwater robots. Specially if they are rigid bodies.

The UNavSIm project extends AirSim to underwater vehicles, but there is a lack of further development. Such an extension may not be complicated for you, but a well-integrated underwater simulation engine is extremely valuable for related research, and I would appreciate it if you could try it.

@Airporal Thanks for the suggestion! We're definitely interested in extending support to more types of vehicles, including underwater ones — it's a fascinating domain with a lot of potential.
That said, for this project to truly succeed, it’ll take all of us contributing our work, ideas, and energy. If underwater simulation is an area you’re passionate about, your contributions would be especially valuable. Let’s build it together! 🌊🤖💪

I can recommend having a look at https://github.com/open-airlab/UNav-Sim for inspiration

Dear Robin, Thank you for your suggestion and for directing me to UNav-Sim for inspiration. I truly appreciate your input. Upon reviewing UNav-Sim, I noticed that it seems to have not been actively maintained for quite some time. I am wondering if it would still be suitable for research purposes given its current state. I would love to hear your thoughts or any additional recommendations you might have. Thank you once again for your valuable insights. Best regards, Airporal
