SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Bridges Gazebo simulation topics to ROS 2 to enable closed-loop robot control.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Establish bidirectional bridges between Gazebo topics and ROS 2 topics using ros_gz_bridge for real-time control.
  • Spawn and orchestrate robot models within Gazebo and connect them to ROS 2 with deterministic bridge mappings.
  • Debug and validate topic flows, message type compatibility, and launch integration in ROS 2-Gazebo workflows.
  • Use case: A simulated mobile robot receives velocity commands in ROS 2 and publishes odometry from Gazebo for ROS 2 consumption.

Quick Start

Deploy a minimal ros_gz_bridge setup that connects ROS 2 topics to Gazebo, spawn a robot, and establish bidirectional cmd_vel and sensor data bridges.

FAQPage Schema
How do I bridge Gazebo simulation topics to ROS 2 for robot control?▼

You can bridge Gazebo simulation topics to ROS 2 by configuring ros_gz_bridge to establish bidirectional or unidirectional topic mappings, enabling real-time data flow for closed-loop robot control.

What is the best way to spawn a robot model in Gazebo and connect it to ROS 2 topics?▼

Spawning and connecting a robot model involves orchestrating the model spawn within Gazebo and establishing deterministic bridge mappings to ROS 2 topics using ros_gz_bridge for real-time control.

Does ros_gz_bridge support bidirectional data flow for velocity commands and sensor data?▼

Yes, ros_gz_bridge supports bidirectional data flow, allowing a simulated robot to receive ROS 2 velocity commands while publishing Gazebo sensor and odometry data back to ROS 2 consumption.

How do I debug message type compatibility and topic flows between ROS 2 and Gazebo?▼

Debugging topic flows and message type compatibility involves running validation checks on data direction, verifying launch integration, and inspecting explicit bridging configurations across ROS 2 and Gazebo.

Why does my Gazebo to ROS 2 topic bridging configuration fail during launch?▼

Topic bridging configurations fail when data direction rules, explicit topic mappings, or message compatibility checks are not properly validated and enforced during launch orchestration across ROS 2 and Gazebo.
