[PlayerStage-Gazebo] Laser beams passing through objects

[zhangqun <zha...@gm...>]

Hi all,

i got a problem when using a sicklms200 laser in gazebo 0.10.0. Laser beams
can pass through the objects. In the old version, say gazebo 0.8pre3, the
laser beams would be obstructed by object. How do i set this up in the new
gazebo?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Zhang Qun

Hi,
can you post your world file so I can try and reproduce the issue? thanks,
John

Re: [PlayerStage-Gazebo] Laser beams passing through objects

[zhangqun <zha...@gm...>]

Hi, John, thanks for your reply. I post my world file and sicklms200 laser
model below. I only put one cylinder there for test. In the laser model, the
tab <displayRays>, no matter i put fan, false or lines values, the laser
beams still can pass through the objects. Actually, even the example world
file coming with gazebo 0.10.0, like pioneer2dx.world, the laser beams can
also pass through the object. So i dont think it is the world file problem.
And I further test the new laser model (gazebo 0.10.0) in my old version
gazebo (0.8pre3), and the laser beems work fine. Thanks.

Re: [PlayerStage-Gazebo] Laser beams passing through objects

[John H. <jo...@wi...>]

I found a couple of things that might be giving you grief.  Attached is a
slightly modified cylinder1 model that should work.  Mainly, the visual and
collision geometry in your cylinder1 object model file do not match,
collision size is specified by <size>radius length</size> and visual scale
specifies the bounding box scale of a unit_cylinder.  Your collision
cylinder is 1m tall and 1m wide (0.5m radius), but visual cylinder is half
of that in all three dimensions.
This might be unrelated, but there appears to be a bug in gui manipulation
of static bodies as well, I'll investigate further, but quick glance it
seems that  using the gazebo gui to drag a static body around does not
actually move its collision geometry.

hope this helps.
John

Re: [PlayerStage-Gazebo] Laser beams passing through objects

[Nate K. <nat...@gm...>]

The problem may also be related to a "feature" that has been added to gazebo.

Sensors will not generate data unless an external program requests
data. So, if you run gazebo without connecting to the laser via shared
memory, Player, or through ROS then the laser will not generate data
and it will seem to pass through objects.

You can also add the <alwaysActive> tag to a sensor:

<sensor:ray>
  <alwaysActive>true</alwaysActive>
</sensor:ray>

Which will force the sensor on.

Re: [PlayerStage-Gazebo] Laser beams passing through objects

[zhangqun <zha...@gm...>]

Hi, nate, thanks. I add the tag <alwaysActive> into the sicklms200.model like
below, but seems not work. The laser beams still look passing through the
objects in gazebo gui. Does that mean i have to write a controller to
request the data in such a way that the laser beams would display correct?

    <sensor:ray name="laser_1">
      <rayCount>180</rayCount>
      <rangeCount>361</rangeCount>
      <origin>0.05 0.0 0</origin>

      <minAngle>-90</minAngle>
      <maxAngle>90</maxAngle>

      <minRange>0.1</minRange>
      <maxRange>8</maxRange>
      <displayRays>fan</displayRays>
      
      <resRange>1</resRange>
      
      <alwaysActive>true</alwaysActive>
   
      <controller:sicklms200_laser name="laser_controller_1">
        <interface:laser name="laser_iface_0"/>
        <interface:fiducial name="fiducial_iface_0"/>
      </controller:sicklms200_laser>
    </sensor:ray>

-qun



The problem may also be related to a "feature" that has been added to
gazebo.

Sensors will not generate data unless an external program requests
data. So, if you run gazebo without connecting to the laser via shared
memory, Player, or through ROS then the laser will not generate data
and it will seem to pass through objects.

You can also add the <alwaysActive> tag to a sensor:

<sensor:ray>
  <alwaysActive>true</alwaysActive>
</sensor:ray>

Which will force the sensor on.

Hi, nate, pls see the world files and sicklms200.model attached. I also
attached the sample world pioneer2dx.world comes with gazebo0.10.0 where the
laser beams of the two robots got the same problem.

Thanks so much for your help.

Re: [PlayerStage-Gazebo] Laser beams passing through objects

[zhangqun <zha...@gm...>]

Hi, John, thanks for reply. Yes, there seems mismatch between collision
geometry and visual geometry. 

For the laser beams problem, as Nate mentioned below, it maybe related to
the new features of gazebo.

-qun

I found a couple of things that might be giving you grief.  Attached is a
slightly modified cylinder1 model that should work.  Mainly, the visual and
collision geometry in your cylinder1 object model file do not match,
collision size is specified by <size>radius length</size> and visual scale
specifies the bounding box scale of a unit_cylinder.  Your collision
cylinder is 1m tall and 1m wide (0.5m radius), but visual cylinder is half
of that in all three dimensions.
This might be unrelated, but there appears to be a bug in gui manipulation
of static bodies as well, I'll investigate further, but quick glance it
seems that  using the gazebo gui to drag a static body around does not
actually move its collision geometry.

hope this helps.
John

Re: [PlayerStage-Gazebo] Laser beams passing through objects

[zhangqun <zha...@gm...>]

Hi nate, thanks. Does that mean if i do not connect with any controller, the
sensors (e.g. laser beams) would not display correct in gui? May I ask, can
we just make the laser beams look normal, say obstructed by obstacles in
gazebo gui without a controller, as in the old gazebo versions?

-qun



The problem may also be related to a "feature" that has been added to
gazebo.

Sensors will not generate data unless an external program requests

Hi Qun,

You can add the <alwaysActive> flag to a sensor to force them on. Then
they will produce correct results even when a controller is not
connected to them.

[PlayerStage-Gazebo] Problem with SVN install

Hi, I am trying to compile the latest version of Gazebo from svn

I have ogre 1.7.1 installed with ode 0.11.1.  Am I missing something? 
Is there a particular revision I can revert to that would fix this error?

Thanks Luc,

This was a namespace issue that I overlooked.
It should be fixed now with the latest SVN (rev. 8808).

below:

Could you pls advise which Ogre is compatible with the SVN version of
gazebo?

Thanks.

Hello,

The world files work just fine. I suggest you try reinstalling the SVN
version of gazebo.

Hello,

This error might be due to your graphic card. I've added in a little
bit of code to gazebo to check if your card supports GLSL.

Could you please SVN up again, reinstall and try again?

Re: [PlayerStage-Gazebo] Laser beams passing through objects

[zhangqun <zha...@gm...>]

Hi, the new revision 8810 works fine with Ogre 1.7.1. Thanks.

Just a small problem that to minimize the gui window will always cause
gazebo to close and show that "Gazebo done".
