UWB Meets Crazyflow: Simulating Degraded Feedback at Scale for Aerial Robotics
arXiv cs.RO0 views
arXiv:2610.08225v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this work, we introduce Crazyflow, an accurate, differentiable simulator built on JAX. By leveraging jit compilation via XLA, Crazyflow unifies physics and control into a single differentiable computation graph, enabling massive parallelization on accelerated hardware without sacrificing modeling accuracy. This architecture achieves order-of-magnitude speedups over existing baselines, capable of training deployable reinforcement learning agents in seconds. To highlight its highly modular design, we demonstrate how easily Crazyflow can be extended by integrating a complete, high-fidelity Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) simulation pipeline coupled with a full-state Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). This capability allows for massive parallel controller evaluation under realistic, degraded state feedback with minimal impact on GPU throughput. By combining speed, accuracy, and extensibility, Crazyflow serves as a foundational tool for the next generation of aerial robotics research.
