Flood Simulation with ROS and Unity
This project delves into the synergy between ROS (Robot Operating System) and Unity for creating a comprehensive flood simulation. Leveraging Gazebo and Unity's capabilities, the integration allows for seamless 3D animation using Blender and fluid simulation with MantaFlow. The collaboration enables controlling robots in Unity with ROS and vice versa, paving the way for realistic flood scenarios to be virtually simulated and managed efficiently.

Flood Simulation with ROS and Unity Kritapas Borikarnphanichphaisal 2600170465-5 1
ROS is robotic middleware, controlling and simulate robot on a third-party software. Introduction In this case, using Gazebo 7. Unity is a multi-platform game engine, good at graphics and packages. 2
Unity has a package call ROS#, sending and receiving messages from ROS via ROSbridge. Why ROS with Unity3D Unity also able to play 3D animation (Flood Simulation). *3D animation is made with Blender. 3
Blender has a framework call MantaFlow for the fluid simulation. The simulation can be exported to alembic file, later imported to Unity. Blender? Most of the open-source simulating water are for simulating forces and waves, fluid simulation is needed for simulating flood. 4

Robots in Unity can be controlled with ROS. Conclusion Images of flood animation in Unity can be sent back to ROS for further controlling. 8
Create a better model for the flood simulation. *Also a model from a real place to simulate virtually real flood. Future Works If possible, reduce the latency. 9
