awesome-robotics-projects VS gazebo-classic

You can get a “cheap” dev kit for $1.5k-$2.5k. As an alternative, i would suggest DIY. Follow the work of open-source robotics/RC/electronics projects. Here is a list to get you started: https://github.com/mjyc/awesome-robotics-projects

Awesome Open Source Robotics Projects - you should start out with the turtle 😁

You could look up a few of them here, if you haven't already. Otherwise, I'd suggest going through participating organisations for GSoC (as they'd likely be very active) and finding projects that seem exciting to you. If you are just getting started with open source development, you could join the mailing lists or IIRC channels for those ongoing projects and put forward any queries directly to the maintainers. Hope this helps.

it is this one: https://github.com/gazebosim/gazebo-classic

Then I find this page which presents the migrations required for each new Gazebo verison.

Check out the paper titled "Simulation Studies on Vision based Humanoid Arm Operations" , they have used Gazebo environment ( https://gazebosim.org/ ). However making it online, I don't think so they will.

Hi guys, Have been anyone able to run gazebo on linux/macos arm64 machine? is there any upcomming support for m1 apple chip if not? what is your solution to run a simulation on m1 do you have any advices? I have tried to build gazebo on my own but it seems it won't build whatever I try.

If you dont wanna spend any extra cash, there is the gazebo simulator (http://gazebosim.org/), which supports ROS (https://www.ros.org/).

Simulation is a strong choice too. ARGoS, Actin, Webots, Gazebo and V-Rep are some examples. A simulation will give you the opportunity to use some robots in different environments (with a lot of configurations). Gazebo has a big community and documentation, V-Rep is the more powerful one (and my pick).

I've used Gazebo; it's very well-integrated into the ROS universe. Lots of open-source sample 'worlds' and robot models out there: http://gazebosim.org/. There is also https://cyberbotics.com/, which looks neat, but I haven't tried it.

Gazebo provides a set of build-in meshes that are listed in this source code file. Apply them be adding an tags inside the tag as follows.
