VRX Gazebosim Port

We're happy to announce VRX will soon be switching over from Gazebo Classic to the newer Gazebo simulator (formerly Ignition Gazebo).

Key Details:

Timeline

• The bulk of the port should be finished by the end of 2022.

After the Port

Once the port is complete:

• the migrated version of VRX will become the default;
• the current version, based on Gazebo Classic, will be archived as VRX Classic;

During the Port

• We continue to review and triage all issues and pull requests.
• However, PRs that introduce major updates or add new functionality may need to wait for final approval until the port is complete.

Status

• The new version is currently being developed in the gazebosim branch of this repository.
• Please be aware that this code is under active development. It may not work or may be missing key features. Support is extremely limited.
• Users wishing to preview the ported version may follow the draft tutorials for installing and running from the gazebosim branch.
