Simulating sensor data with physical fidelity is increasingly vital in the design, testing, and validation of Autonomous Systems. The AGX Sensor module of the AGX Dynamics simulation suite, offers a unified platform for real-time virtual sensing, enabling the generation of synthetic sensor outputs across a wide array of modalities. By operating within a dedicated Sensor Environment mostly decoupled from the main dynamics simulation, this module allows for flexible integration of sensor simulation while allowing the main dynamics simulation to be run by itself.

This module supports configurable sensor types, such as Lidars, Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) and Accelerometers among others, each designed to replicate realistic sensing conditions, environmental interactions, and common sources of measurement uncertainty. This capability facilitates the development of robust control strategies, perception algorithms, and autonomy pipelines, making the AGX Sensor module a versatile tool for research and development in robotics, simulation-based testing, and virtual prototyping.
