We present MIDGARD, an open source simulation platform for autonomous robot navigation in unstructured outdoor environments. We specifically design MIDGARD to enable training of autonomous agents (e.g., unmanned ground vehicles) in photorealistic 3D environments, and to support the generalization skills of learning-based agents by means of diverse and variable training scenarios. MIDGARD differs from other major simulation platforms in that it proposes a highly configurable procedural landscape generation pipeline, which enables autonomous agents to be trained in diverse scenarios while reducing the efforts and costs needed to create digital content from scratch.
