[PlayerStage-Gazebo] Re: [Playerstage-users] Silly bumper question

[ahoward <ah...@po...>]

Hi Ben:

I'm going to assume this is a Gazebo question (your email doesnt say)...

No: we dont currently have a stand-alone bumper model or sensor, so
bumpers are hard-coded into other models.  I dont think there is such a
thing as a generic bumber model, but one could perhaps create a fairly
generic bumper *sensor* (along the lines of the Camera or RayProximity
sensors) that would make it easy to write custom bumper models.  I have no
plans to do this anytime soon, but would welcome a patch to this effect.

 	A.
