gazebo-classic VS gazebo_ros_pkgs

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.

Regardless of the actual drivetrain used, you can just use the gazebo_ros_planar_move_plugin (included in gazebo_ros_pkgs) to get omnidirectional drive for your simulated robot. This plugin will simply set the entity's speed in Gazebo to match the input Twist command, and Gazebo will update the entity's pose in the world accordingly.

The "hooks" to ROS2 are described here. The source for the Gazebo plugin and various ROS2 infrastructure for making it work is all developed on GitHub.

Using the galactic branch of the ros-simulation/gazebo_ros_plugins github repo, I can launch the ackermann steering world, connect a joystick using teleop-joy and I can dive the car around in the empty world.

Optionally, is it possible to use a different type of joint? I see in the gazebo ackermann prius car example, it uses several universal joints. Can I use another type of joint and still be able to simulate the robot to test out the controller?

In the last article, we saw how to add a plugin to control the robot in a Gazebo simulation. Adding a visual sensor follows the same approach: Identify the plugin from the Gazebo plugin documentation, check and apply the configuration, and then add it your robots' URDF model.

Since the inception of ROS2, plugins have been steadily converted. The status page shows that individual plugins for e.g. cameras were combined into one package. Taking this as a reference, we can select and incorporate the plugins of our choice to make them workable with our prototype.

Also, have you considered using the IMU sensor that already is in those packages ? https://github.com/ros-simulation/gazebo_ros_pkgs/blob/foxy/gazebo_plugins/include/gazebo_plugins/gazebo_ros_imu_sensor.hpp

Gazebo is quasi-supported on Windows 10. I was able to integrate it with ROS2. The core gazebo_ros_pkgs libraries work just fine, but I have noticed that the Gazebo GUI is quite buggy on Windows, stuff sometimes doesn't render right, and the real-time shader system flat out doesn't work.
