gazebo是ROS中的一个实现物理仿真的工具包,gazebo本身就是一款机器人的仿真软件,基于ODE的物理引擎,可以模拟机器人以及环境中的很多物理特性。
注意,gazebo和rviz是不同的工具包,不要混淆。
类似于rviz工具,在gazebo工具中也可以加载机器人模型。
加载的步骤:
(1)安装gazebo工具包
(2)新建工程,将包的路径位置加入到环境变量ROS_PACKAGE_PATH中
(3)新建.xacro文件并编辑内容
(4)新建.world文件并编辑内容
(5)新建.launch文件并编辑内容
(6)使用命令显示
其中.xacro文件包括机器人模型信息的文件,.world是gazebo环境地图文件,.launch为启动脚本。
sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-gazebo-ros-pkgs ros-hydro-gazebo-roscontrol
安装成功
运行
rosrun gazebo_ros gazebo
a)新建工程
在我的目录/root/dev/workspace/下
roscreate-pkg gazebotest urdf xacro
b)增加环境变量
a)新建文件夹urdf
mkdir urdf
b)在urdf文件夹下编辑robot1_xacro.xacro文件如下
<robot xmlns:xacro="http://www.ros.org/wiki/xacro"

可以看到
标签设置了物理属性如颜色为绿色
a)新建文件夹world
mkdir world
b)在world 文件夹下新建并编辑robot.world文件
如下
<sdf version="1.4">
<world name="default">
<include>
<uri>model://ground_planeuri>
include>
<include>
<uri>model://sunuri>
include>
<gui fullscreen='0'>
<camera name='user_camera'>
<pose>4.927360 -4.376610 3.740080 0.000000 0.275643 2.356190pose>
<view_controller>orbitview_controller>
camera>
gui>
world>
sdf>
发现文件的参数就是配置些灯光视角参数。
新建lauch文件夹并新建gazebo.lauch如下
<launch>
<arg name="paused" default="true"/>
<arg name="use_sim_time" default="false"/>
<arg name="gui" default="true"/>
<arg name="headless" default="false"/>
<arg name="debug" default="true"/>
<include file="$(find gazebo_ros)/launch/empty_world.launch">
<arg name="world_name" value="$(find gazebotest)/worlds/robot.world"/>
<arg name="debug" value="$(arg debug)" />
<arg name="gui" value="$(arg gui)" />
<arg name="paused" value="$(arg paused)"/>
<arg name="use_sim_time" value="$(arg use_sim_time)"/>
<arg name="headless" value="$(arg headless)"/>
include>
<arg name="model" />
<param name="robot_description"
command="$(find xacro)/xacro.py $(arg model)" />
<node name="urdf_spawner" pkg="gazebo_ros" type="spawn_model" respawn="false" output="screen"
args="-urdf -model robot1 -param robot_description -z 0.05"/>
launch>
注意着行代表表示加载的.world文件位置,(find gazebotest)返回的是包的绝对路径。
"world_name" value="$(find gazebotest)/worlds/robot.world"/>
使用如下命令
roslaunch gazebotest gazebo.launch model:="$(rospack find gazebotest)/urdf/robot1_xacro.xacro"
//或者使用绝对路径命令
roslaunch gazebotest gazebo.launch model:="/root/dev/workspace/gazebotest/urdf/robot1_xacro.xacro"
