Revision history [back]

I have uploaded (but not yet fully documented) our editor for easily creating NIST standard test arena scenarios (for example used for in the RoboCup Rescue competition) and assorted packages here. You can check it out (currently only works for electric, fuerte branch will be updated later) and try

roslaunch hector_nist_arena_worlds go2011_arena.launch

This should spawn a gazebo version of the RoboCup German Open 2011 arena. It has multiple roll/pitch ramps and is used at Team Hector to simulate our wheeled UGVs inside the arena.

Looks like this:

With the hector_nist_arena_designer you can even build other scenarios out of the available building blocks (walls, ramps, etc.) or define new building blocks (click on "help" in the editor for further info).

A hilly outdoor terrain is available in the hector_gazebo_worlds package and can be started using

roslaunch hector_gazebo_worlds rolling_landscape_120m.launch
