Robotics Engineers Discuss Latency Simulation in Gazebo and ROS
TL;DR. Robotics developers are exploring methods to accurately simulate latency and jitter in sensor data and control commands within Gazebo and ROS environments for robust testing. - Current approaches often involve `topic_tools/delay` in ROS, which can lead to complex topic management. - The community is seeking more integrated simulation mechanisms within platforms like `gz-transport` to streamline the process. - Effective latency simulation is crucial for developing autonomous systems that operate reliably in real-world conditions.
- Discussion centers on simulating latency and jitter in robotic sensor and control data.
- Engineers seek better methods beyond individual topic delays in ROS and Gazebo.
- Accurate latency simulation is vital for robotics development and real-world system reliability.
