Coordinate Systems for Unreal Engine Simulation in Robotics System Toolbox

Robotics System Toolbox™ enables you to simulate your robot scenario in a virtual environment that uses the Unreal Engine^® from Epic Games^®.

Note

Simulating models in the 3D visualization environment requires Simulink^® 3D Animation™.

Unreal Engine World Coordinate System

The Unreal Engine environment uses a left-hand rule world coordinate system with axes that are fixed in the inertial reference frame.

Axis	Description
X	Forward direction of the vehicle Roll — Right-handed rotation about X-axis
Y	Extends to the right of the vehicle, parallel to the ground plane Pitch — Right-handed rotation about Y-axis
Z	Extends upwards Yaw — Left-handed rotation about Z-axis
