In the gazebo_ros_skid_steer_drive plugin, these two steps occur here and here. or broadcastTF (not sure why I should not want to broadcast) Two possible reasons that come to mind: You aren't interested in odometry and want to reduce resource usage / bandwidth. You want to publish your own tf data in lieu of Gazebo's like this user.
I'm new to gazebo, I'm trying to build a world for my four wheeled bot. I followed TheConstruct tutorial, where i downloaded models from 3dwarehouse and added to world.
I receive errors when running roslaunch on my own project, and I get the same errors when using the same command on the project provided at the above link. I assume that means that I am missing something in ros or Gazebo. Running: roslaunch jaguar4x4 gazebo jaguar4x4 world.launch gives the following errors (repeated for each joint and trans):
I'm currently running Gazebo on a machine with an Nvidia GEForce RTX 2070 card. When I launch the simulation and then run nvidia-smi, it shows that the Nvidia graphics card is only at anywhere from 0-4% utilization, and gazebo is not listed as a process at the bottom, so I assume that it's hardly using the GPU at all. Would I need to configure Gazebo to utilize a graphics card or reconfigure ...
For example, my Gazebo version is 7, so I put all these model files inside as shown below: Note that if you do not have these models, Gazebo should still work well; the only thing is that you need to wait long enough for the Gazebo GUI to appear.
This Docs/Gazebo Fortress page recommends the ROS 2 Humble GZ Fortress combination, NOT the GZ Garden labeled "Possible" (though as Recommended on [gz-garden]) .
After that I checked my world using gazebo and importing the newly created model and everything looks fine. But when I try to do the same from other terminal (not from ~/.gazebo/models/MY_MODEL) I do not get the texture/materials of my model, everything is silver.
I can run Gazebo fine in other versions like 20.04 without any problem. Whenever I tried to first launch Gazebo on my computer, my computer screen started to completely glitch out, even when I ended the program and exited out of everything.
