Project AirSim is Open at Farnborough International Airshow
In connection with this week's Farnborough International Airshow in Britain, the cloud-based simulation platform Project AirSim is now accessible in a restricted preview.
In a blog post published today, Gurdeep Pall, corporate vice president for business incubations in technology and research at Microsoft, said that Project AirSim is a crucial tool for bridging the gap between the world of bits and the world of atoms. It also demonstrates the power of the industrial metaverse, the virtual world where businesses will develop, test, and refine solutions before bringing them into the physical world.
The platform can use processing power from Microsoft Azure and data from Bing Maps and other vendors to build millions of intricate virtual 3-D settings. Customers have the option of creating their venues or selecting from a library of certain places throughout the world.
Microsoft's Project AirSim is based on a Microsoft Research open-source application that demands advanced coding and machine learning skills. The commercial platform makes testing and training AI-powered aircraft easier. Ansys and MathWorks, two AI simulation software providers, are involved.
A North Dakota-based business that was one of Project AirSim's early users taught drones to examine wind farms and oil tanks in the Midwest thanks to a $100,000 Microsoft TechSpark award.
The AirSim project assisted Airtonomy in training drones to operate in various weather situations, including snow, rain, strong gusts, and high temperatures.
One more early access collaborator, Bell, used Project Airsim to improve the capability of its drones to land on their own.
