We present an environment for simulated experiments in field robotics, and especially in experiments on estimating the traversability
of foliage and other objects that appear as obstacles but that can
be overcome by the robot without circumventing them. The simulated environment is developed in the Unity real-time development
platform, integrated with the ROS middleware. In the preliminary
experiments presented here, we demonstrate that our environment
is able to simulate the sensory input needed in order to train supervised traversability estimation models.
