Overview

As of ROS Fuerte release, this stack is essentially a wrapper plus additional tools and plugins for using the Gazebo 3D rigid body simulator for robots from the Player/Stage/Gazebo project. The core simulator code is pulled in and wrapped inside the gazebo package, see the package page for more details.

Internally, Gazebo uses

• Open Dynamics Engine¹, a physics engine based on linear complementarity problem (LCP) constraint formulation, and

• OGRE², a scene graph 3D rendering engine.

For simulating the complete PR2 robot, please see the PR2 simulator stack.
