  • Okay, I Like WezTerm
    20 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 12 Aug 2024
    I used WezTerm for a while and loved it, but then I discovered it had some strange interactions with other programs that use the GPU or OpenGL. In my case, when running WezTerm, the robotics simulation tool Gazebo Classic [0] would only launch properly 1/3 to 1/2 of the time. The rest of the time the simulation appeared to start, but no display ever came up and the program eventually segfalted. I thought this was a Gazebo problem, since it is a bit touchy, but switching to another GPU-accelerated terminal like Kitty or Alacritty solved the problem. I guess the lesson being, if your GL program is misbehaving when launching from WezTerm, try another terminal to see if that doesn't solve the problem.

    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.
  • Gazebo Ignition Apple Silicon Support!

    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.
