Gazebo Transport, a component of Gazebo, provides fast and efficient asynchronous message passing, services, and data logging.
Gazebo Transport is an open source communication library that allows exchanging data between clients. In our context, a client is called a node. Nodes might be running within the same process in the same machine or in machines located in different continents. Gazebo Transport is multi-platform (Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows), so all the low level details, such as data alignment or endianness are hidden for you.
Gazebo Transport uses Google Protocol buffers as the data serialization format for communicating between nodes. Users can define their own messages using the Protobuf utils, and then, exchange them between the nodes. Gazebo Transport discovers, serializes and delivers messages to the destinations using a combination of custom code and ZeroMQ.
See the installation tutorial.
See tutorials and the example directory in the source code.
In the event that the installation is a mix of Debian and from source, command
line tools from gz-tools may not work correctly.
A workaround is to define the environment variable
GZ_CONFIG_PATH to point to the location of the Gazebo library installation,
where the YAML file for the package is found, such as
export GZ_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/share/gz
This issue is tracked here.
