Overview

This stack contains plugins and tools for integrating ROS with the Gazebo 3D rigid body simulator for robots from the Player/Stage/Gazebo project.

The core simulator code is pulled in and wrapped inside the gazebo package, see the package page for more details.

For simulating the complete PR2 robot, please see the PR2 simulator stack.

Prior to ROS Fuerte, this stack contained the actual source for the Gazebo simulator, but it now only provides ROS interfaces.

The Gazebo Simulator

Internally, Gazebo uses:

  • Open Dynamics Engine1, a physics engine based on linear complementarity problem (LCP) constraint formulation, and

  • OGRE2, a scene graph 3D rendering engine.
