[ros-users] NXT and Gazebo

[Tully Foote]

Hi Miguel,

We haven't had time to get the NXT simulations setup in gazebo simulations.


What needs to be done is models loaded for each of the parts you plan to
simulate, many are done already for the URDF visualization.  And then all
the motors, and sensors need plugins written for them so that gazebo can
simulate them correctly.  Once that is there, it's just a matter of
composing the URDF which describes your NXT robot.  An example plugin is the
create plugin in the turtlebot_gazebo_plugins package you can browse the
code at
https://kforge.ros.org/turtlebot/simulator/file/d76b1532b281/turtlebot_gazebo_plugins
