Examples for simulation of ROS and ROS 2 applications in ROS-enabled simulators and supported hardware

These examples show how to build specific applications for ROS-enabled simulators and supported hardware, and explore connectivity to real robots using ROS Toolbox. Use these examples as a basis to design a network of ROS nodes to validate various algorithms for autonomous ground robots, manipulators, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and then, deploy them to simulated hardware. ROS Toolbox supports deployment of these algorithms to robots running ROS on their hardware such as TurtleBot®. ROS Toolbox also supports interfacing with ROS-enabled software simulation systems to simulate these applications.

Some of these examples use a Virtual Machine image that already has ROS and Gazebo installed. This virtual machine is based on Ubuntu® Linux® and is pre-configured to support the examples in ROS Toolbox.
