Hi all, I'd like to execute long duration tests at night and I need to know if Gazebo provides a way to detect collisions and to save the instant or the position of the robot where it happened. Do you know if exist an implemented function to do something like that? In other case, do you know a method to estimate collisions through sensors data? (odometry, laser, sonar) thanks in advance, -- Pablo García |

Hi Pablo, Gazebo has a contact sensor that will do what you described here, for example, you can embed an XML block like this in your body: <body:...> ... <sensor:contact name="body_contact_sensor"> <geom>your_geom_name</geom> <updateRate>100.0</updateRate> <controller:bumper name="body_bumper_controller"> <updateRate>100.0</updateRate> <interface:bumper name="body_bumper_iface" /> </controller:bumper> </sensor:contact> </body:...> I know the contact sensor works, but have not tested the bumper controller recently.
