在Gazebo仿真中常需要在URDF文件中添加相关标签来来仿真机器人的传感器、执行器的特性。现将常用插件总结如下(使用时根据自己情况对参数进行修改):
1.运动控制
<gazebo>
<plugin name="differential_drive_controller" filename="libgazebo_ros_diff_drive.so">
<alwaysOn>true</alwaysOn>
<updateRate>${update_rate}</updateRate>
<leftJoint>${base_link_right_wheel_joint}</leftJoint>
<rightJoint>${base_link_left_wheel_joint}</rightJoint>
<wheelSeparation>0.100</wheelSeparation>
<wheelDiameter>0.040</wheelDiameter>
<torque>20</torque>
<commandTopic>cmd_vel</commandTopic>
<odometryTopic>odom</odometryTopic>
<odometryFrame>odom</odometryFrame>
<robotBaseFrame>${base_link}</robotBaseFrame>
</plugin>
</gazebo>
1.2.滑动转向驱动
<gazebo>
<plugin name="skid_steer_drive_controller" filename="libgazebo_ros_skid_steer_drive.so">
<alwaysOn>true</alwaysOn>
<updateRate>${update_rate}</updateRate>
<leftFrontJoint>${base_link_wheel1_joint}</leftFrontJoint>
<rightFrontJoint>${base_link_wheel2_joint}</rightFrontJoint>
<leftRearJoint>${base_link_wheel3_joint}</leftRearJoint>
<rightRearJoint>${base_link_wheel4_joint}</rightRearJoint>
<wheelSeparation>0.100</wheelSeparation>
<wheelDiameter>0.040</wheelDiameter>
<torque>20</torque>
<commandTopic>cmd_vel</commandTopic>
<odometryTopic>odom</odometryTopic>
<odometryFrame>odom</odometryFrame>
<robotBaseFrame>${base_link}</robotBaseFrame>
<broadcastTF>1</broadcastTF>
</plugin>
</gazebo>
2.传感器
