PlotJuggler VS carla

If you use ROS, you will have similar facilities with ROS bags and e.g. PlotJuggler. ROS bags are not as convenient to manipulate as MessagePack/JSON dictionaries, although they hold similar data, because the ecosystem is smaller (i.e. less people manipulating them and developing tools to manipulate them more efficiently).

I can also recommend using Plotjuggler instead: https://github.com/facontidavide/PlotJuggler

This is great!! Also see the open source plot juggler (not mine) https://www.plotjuggler.io/

If you want to visualize data on the plot I would recommend using PlotJuggler. Great piece of visualization tool working with ROS. It is available as snap package, so it will be easy to set up. Here's the link with all the details: https://github.com/facontidavide/PlotJuggler

For work sometimes I will use a program called PlotJuggler, where there is a splash screen but it is just a couple seconds of displaying a random, plotting related meme.

Based on your comment, I assume you mean a GUI program for interactive exploration and manipulation, rather than a library?

This was posted on HN a few months ago and came to mind: https://github.com/facontidavide/PlotJuggler

In a past job, we used the commercial app nCode Glyphworks for graphical / interactive signal processing from field tests with hundreds of sensors.

It sounds like you're looking for something like the CARLA simulator.

If you are looking for a different simulator, I would suggest using (Carla)[https://carla.org/] with ROS bridge and it also has an inbuilt support for OSM which worked flawlessly (you have to install it from source to get the OSM plugin).

(3) I would suggest you use CARLA or TORCS for self-driving cars in RL as they are common test beds.

There are a few ways you could go with this. A fun recent trend has been to make simulators in the unreal engine for photorealistic training. If you wanted to spend your whole project on the simulator part you could make your own environment, but I highly recommend using an open-source sim package. If you don't care too much about photorealism, you could use gazebo just fine. I've also made small visual worlds in blender, then simulated with RVIZ. Here's a good one with a focus on aerial robotics: https://theairlab.org/tartanair-dataset/ You could also give CARLA a spin for autonomous vehicles: https://carla.org/
