The GazeboRosImuSensor
plugin was only added/merged recently (https://github.com/ros-simulation/gazebo_ros_pkgs/pull/363), while the IMU plugin in hector_gazebo dates back to 2012. Back then there was no proper IMU plugin in ros-gazebo-pkgs, that
The approach of GazeboRosImuSensor
, that uses Gazebo's ImuSensor
internally, is definitely cleaner and should be preferred for new projects. But I have not compared the output of both plugins in detail yet. I think the last two "features" are still unique to hector_gazebo_ros_imu
.
Another IMU plugin I am aware of is provided by the rotors_simulator.
@meyerj
Thank you for your kind explanation! I also agree that the last two features are important. Hope GazeboRosImuSensor can also implement these features.
I am considering to use imu plugin in gazebo. What is the main difference between hector imu plugin and GazeboRosImuSensor?
