Gazebo simulation package for Fetch Robotics Fetch and Freight Research Edition robots.
Fetch Gazebo is a Gazebo simulation package for Fetch Robotics' Fetch and Freight Research Edition robots. It provides a virtual environment where researchers and developers can test robotics software, algorithms, and behaviors before deploying to physical hardware. The package supports multiple Gazebo and ROS versions for compatibility across different development setups.
Robotics researchers, developers, and students working with Fetch Robotics platforms who need to simulate robot behavior in Gazebo. Particularly useful for those developing navigation, manipulation, or perception algorithms.
Provides official, high-fidelity simulation models that accurately represent Fetch Robotics hardware, with support for multiple ROS/Gazebo versions and cloud simulation options. The package is maintained through the ROS buildfarm for reliable releases.
Gazebo simulator for Fetch
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Supports Gazebo versions 2, 7, 9, 11 and ROS Kinetic, Melodic, Noetic, as per the README's branch listings, ensuring compatibility across diverse development setups.
Provides accurate simulation models for Fetch and Freight Research Edition robots, enabling realistic testing of navigation and manipulation algorithms before hardware deployment.
Offers launch on ROSDS (TheConstruct) via documentation links, allowing for easy access to simulation without local installation hurdles.
Includes build status icons and releases through the ROS buildfarm, ensuring reliable, continuously integrated packages for stable development.
Only supports Fetch and Freight robots, making it unsuitable for projects involving other robotics platforms or requiring extensible models.
The README notes Gazebo11 with ROS Noetic is untested as of 1-2021, indicating lag in updates and potential compatibility issues with modern setups.
Uses multiple branches (e.g., gazebo9, gazebo11) for different Gazebo/ROS combinations, which can be confusing for users to navigate and set up correctly.
