About

This PR adds support for creating and reusing world configurations in ProjectAirSim, along with practical examples for users.

• Two new example scripts have been added:

  • world_creator.py: creates a world from a scene file (scene_basic_drone.jsonc) and saves its configuration in a shared volume.
  • world_consumer.py: loads a previously saved world configuration and runs a demonstration flight sequence with a drone, showing camera views (chase cam, RGB, and depth).

• In utils.py:

  • load_scene_config_as_dict has been extended to support multiple configuration files per robot or environment actor.
  • New helper functions merge_dicts and merge_lists have been introduced to recursively and cleanly merge configurations.

• In world.py:

  • Automatic persistence of the world configuration has been implemented in airsim_shared/world_config.json.
  • The World constructor can automatically load the last saved configuration if no new scene is specified.
  • parent_topic has been adjusted for greater flexibility (/Sim instead of /Sim/SceneBasicDrone).

How Has This Been Tested?

• Ran world_creator.py to generate a world and verified that world_config.json is saved correctly both inside and outside Docker.

• Ran world_consumer.py to:

  • Load the previously saved world.
  • Display configured camera views in real time.
  • Execute the flight sequence (takeoff, ascend, descend, land) without errors.

• Manually tested loading multiple robot configurations to validate correct merging of data.
