This is a partial duplicate of #20 but I'll let Josh's PR ( #111 ) close that issue and keep this one because you have checkmarks
Ah, I looked to see if there would be any duplicates. I missed that one because it was buried under other things that that issue covers. We can keep track of just Gazebo things here for greater clarity.
@dacohen is working on making URDF files
Daniel, you might want to look at [1], [2] and [3] for some ready-made interface for some ackerman's steering models. I can't find ready-made URDF for them, but I'm sure they exist.

According to @evanxq the actuators work (from car pose to simulation), which means that #182, #160, #159, will all be fixed with PR #181, which is in code review rn. Left on this will be: #161, #179 #158, but the last two are low priority
For future reference, implementing simulation tests in pytest might not be as straight forward as @with_launch_file('buzzmobile', 'simulation.launch')
. See [0]. "gazebo_rosmaster_uri is also a thing", says @joshuamorton. Might require a whole new set of test utils.
So from the investigation I did yesterday, here's what (I believe) the state of gazebo simulation is:
rosdep install
, but you need to know which things they are. For reference, I believe its the needed packages are hector_gazebo_plugins controller_manager controller_manager_msgs
, at least that's what seemed to work on my system@iRapha @chsahit
I'm gonna throw someone under the bus here and tag @kpberry bc he said he wants to help car this semester
car_pose
to gazebo joint actuators.Low priority:
