gazebo_ros_motors
ROS plugins for simulating DC motors and ideal speed controllers in Gazebo, enabling motor control system development.
What is gazebo_ros_motors?
Gazebo ROS Motors is a set of plugins for the Gazebo robotics simulator that models electric motors within ROS environments. It provides a DC motor plugin solving electro-mechanical equations and an ideal speed controller plugin, allowing developers to simulate and test motor control systems in a virtual physics environment. This helps in prototyping and validating control algorithms before hardware implementation.
Robotics engineers and researchers developing motor control systems in ROS who need accurate simulation of motor dynamics within Gazebo for testing and algorithm development.
It offers physics-accurate motor simulation integrated directly with Gazebo and ROS, enabling realistic testing of control strategies without physical hardware. The plugins support dynamic parameter tuning and expose standard ROS interfaces, making them practical for iterative control system development.
