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.
