Hi everyone,

We have started a discussion in the STDR Simulator google group about our future plans. You are all invited to jump in the discussion and help us with your ideas. We are very interested in learning how do you use STDR SImulator. I highly encourage you to reply directly to the google group.

Long story short: We are trying to “hide” simulator specific stuff that cause issues to the end users when they simulate robots with localization and mapping capabilities. Our approach is to use a separate ros master for the simulator and leave a clean environment for user code, much like rostest does. You can find more details in the google group.

Regards,
Chris
