Make a robot in GAZEBO from scratch | under 8 minutes simulation

in this beginner-friendly tutorial 🔥 we are going to learn how to build and simulate a simple robot in the gazebo simulator using only the model editor. this robot will be able to detect obstacles and move towards them using a depth camera.

Great video!

[@ziadammar3095]

what are the best specs do you recommend for gazebo ?

[@amortalbeing]

Thanks a lot. I cant edit my robot after I saved it and tried to load it back. its completely white now and none of its parts are selectable. what did I do wrong?

[@dhanushkumarreddynarayanar9648]

Hello sir, If i want to control multiple robots and using Aruco tags, How should i proceed ?

[@user-el6bu2dm2g]

what is the maximum robot can i design and use them at the same time?

[@kidtimusprime]

Hi you mentioned in the video that you will make a video on how to manually control the robot in gazebo. Can I know how to do that? thank you

[@user-si2hp9rr1i]

I did each step the same, my model is not moving towards the cube. Can anyone help?
Simulation is running.

[@teetanrobotics5363]

Could you please explain how to control this robot using dijstra , rrt , a* , etc using ros C++ or rclcpp ?

[@hobby_coding]

i'll make a video for that for sure

[@vickylogesh1576]

Pls tell how to add depth cam in gazebo.

[@ArunKumar-sg6jf]

i tried it is working

[@hobby_coding]

glad to hear it

[@dimpleraghu2744]

My model is not moving towards the obstacle, what do I do. Please reply asap

[@strongwarrior0210]

same here

[@strongwarrior0210]

how did you solve your problem?

[@jadepericard6827]

​@@strongwarrior0210 I had the same problem and solution was to click on the play button at the bottom of the page 😅 i hope that would help you

Can you model a robot in Blender and import it into Gazebo~?

[@hobby_coding]

yeah sure you can

[@kingpen]

@@hobby_coding Thanks much~!

[@hobby_coding]

@@kingpen your welcome Brandon, but if you want accuracy you gotta do it inside gazebo where you can specify the parameters like the weight, density, COG... etc

[@kingpen]

@@hobby_coding Ah, got it, so I take it you can't do that with a prefab imported model then. Thanks for letting me know, I'm building something for which accuracy is important~ :D

[@h3Xh3Xh3X]

Wow, such a clunky modeling tool! Can't you model in another program and import it?

[@hobby_coding]

of course you can, the easiest one is OnShape.

[@co4erol]

clickbait 😡

I use webots. Check it out! I love your videos

[@hobby_coding]

yes i will , i might make a video comparing between different simulators .
