simulationintheloop
Simulation in the loop is a testing methodology used in engineering to validate control software by placing it inside a real-time loop with a simulated plant and environment. The simulated plant provides sensor data and responds to actuator commands from the software under test, creating a closed-loop scenario without physical hardware.
Typically, a high-fidelity plant model runs in real time within a simulation environment, while the control
Applications include the development and validation of autonomous systems (drones, ground vehicles, service robots), aircraft and
Related testing approaches are Model-in-the-Loop (MIL), Software-in-the-Loop (SIL), and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL). SITL sits among these categories
