Abstract
As spatial intelligence continues to evolve, heterogeneous multi-agent systems-particularly the collaboration between Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs), have demonstrated strong potential in complex applications such as search and rescue, urban surveillance, and environmental monitoring. However, existing simulation platforms are primarily designed for single-agent dynamics and lack dedicated frameworks for interactive air-ground collaborative simulation. In this paper, we present AirsimAG, a high-fidelity air-ground collaborative simulation platform built upon an extensively customized AirSim framework. The platform enables synchronized multi-agent simulation and supports heterogeneous sensing and control interfaces for UAV-UGV systems. To demonstrate its capabilities, we design a set of representative air-ground collaborative tasks, including mapping, planning, tracking, formation, and exploration. We further provide quantitative analyses based on these tasks to illustrate the platform effectiveness in supporting multi-agent coordination and cross-modal data consistency. The AirsimAG simulation platform is publicly available at this https URL.
