UAV Flight Simulation: Parsing to Animated Visualization

Published:

Autonomous UAV Simulation Pipeline
  • 🛩ī¸ Autonomous flight simulation: Parses mission instructions, simulates UAV motion with real physical constraints (constant speed, minimum turn radius)
  • 🧭 Real-time azimuth calculation: Continuously updates heading to guide the UAV toward targets and trigger holding patterns at waypoints
  • 📊 Dynamic visualization: Animated Python (matplotlib) rendering, showing live flight path and a rotating arrow for nose direction
  • ⚙ī¸ C++ core, Python for animation: Data pipeline from parsing through physics to graphical output
