Hi,

I am having issues setting up a scene with 2 robots, each equipped with an IMU. My scene XML looks like:

...
<vehicle>
    <name>AZOR</name>
    <file>data/scenes/g500ARM5.urdf</file>
    <position>
      <x> 5</x>
      <y> 7 </y>
      <z> -3 </z>
    </position>
    <orientation>
      <r>0</r>
      <p>0 </p>
      <y>0 </y>
    </orientation>
    <imu>
      <name>IMU_AZOR</name>
      <relativeTo>base_link</relativeTo>
      <position>
        <x>0</x>
        <y>0</y>
        <z>0</z>
      </position>  
      <orientation>
        <r>0</r>
        <p>0</p>
        <y>0</y>
      </orientation>
      <std>0.00000001</std>
    </imu>
  </vehicle>

  <vehicle>
    <name>TOM</name>
    <file>data/scenes/g500ARM5.urdf</file>
    <position>
      <x> 10</x>
      <y> 8 </y>

      <position>
        <x>0</x>
        <y>0</y>

      </position>  
      <orientation>
        <r>0</r>
        <p>0</p>
        <y>0</y>
      </orientation>
      <std>0.00000001</std>
    </imu>
  </vehicle>

      <rate>20</rate>
    </ImuToROSImu>
  </rosInterfaces>

When I try to run this scene, UWSim gives me Segmentation Fault. However, If I remove the second IMU sensor, the simulation is working OK. How can I have two vehicles with 2 IMU sensors? Thanks

The problem comes from the WorldToROSTF element:

<WorldToROSTF>
  <rootName> world </rootName>
  <enableObjects> 0 </enableObjects>
  <rate>10</rate>
</WorldToROSTF>

After this is removed, the simulation works fine.

True, there was a bug on TF publishing for some sensors. I've just updated git main branch, thanks for the catch and sorry for the late response!.

Do you know if your changes have made it to version 1.4? Im sitting here with the exact same issue.

ROS: Jade UWSim 1.4 Ubuntu 14.04.4

Actually, it was fixed, but at some point reintroduced, Should be fixed again for indigo source, I'll merge changes to jade source right now.
