Gazebo simulations often run with Gazebo Transport, which is not directly readable by ROS 2 nodes. This skill provides a reliable bridge between Gazebo and ROS 2 using the ros_gz_bridge package so that simulated sensors, odometry, and control commands can be consumed by ROS 2 ecosystems.
Start a Gazebo simulation and configure ros_gz_bridge mappings to connect Gazebo topics to ROS 2 topics during runtime.

You can bridge Gazebo Transport topics to ROS 2 DDS using ros_gz_bridge, which maps simulated sensor data, odometry, and control commands so they can be consumed by ROS 2 ecosystems during runtime.
ROS 2 nodes cannot read Gazebo sensors and odometry directly because Gazebo uses Gazebo Transport; ros_gz_bridge is required to bridge the communication and make simulated data available to ROS 2.
The best way to control topic direction between Gazebo and ROS 2 is using ros_gz_bridge's flexible direction control, which supports GZ→ROS, ROS→GZ, or bidirectional setups with clear mapping rules for data flow.
Yes, ros_gz_bridge supports bidirectional topic bridging for cmd_vel and TF transforms, allowing velocity commands and coordinate transforms to be exchanged seamlessly between Gazebo simulations and ROS 2 controllers.
Yes, you can verify a ROS 2 mobile robot navigation stack using Gazebo simulation by bridging velocity commands and odometry with ros_gz_bridge, enabling ROS 2 controllers to exchange data with the simulated environment.
To synchronize the clock between Gazebo and ROS 2, apply ros_gz_bridge to map the /clock topic, ensuring correct time synchronization between Gazebo Transport and ROS 2 DDS during simulation runtime.
