6 months ago Ah yes absolutely. I wanted to update the simulation documentation with the content of this paper for a while but haven't had the time: https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.02296. This is the paper that resulted from that workshop.
I'm not sure when I'll have time to update this page, but if you'd like, you could be able to make a pull request for the simulation page yourself as well: https://github.com/ROS-Aerial/aerial_robotic_landscape/blob/main/simulation.md

Shameless plug warning!!
We've released a Python-based UAV dynamics simulator called RotorPy which was included in the list of simulators from the RS4UAV workshop from ICRA 2023. Particular emphasis is on lumped-parameter aerodynamic models, spatio-temporal wind fields, and applications to deep/reinforcement learning.
As far as Python goes, the simulator is quite fast. It's been used in a few recent papers pertaining to planning or control for UAVs subject to aerodynamic wrenches, most notably as a way to quickly generate millions of quadrotor trajectories to use as training data.
I'm always looking for ways to expand the simulator to meet the needs of researchers. I would grateful if this was added to the list of simulators here!
