Hello everyone. I am new to ROS and was using gazebo for simulation of Innok_Heros robot. Is it possible to add ultrasonic sensor to this robot, if yes can someone please hint me on the method to do the same.
Thank you.
-FAIZ.
You can use the gazebo_ros_range plugin to simulate an ultrasonic (sonar) sensor. Look at lines 82 to 115 of this test world file to see how to add one to your own simulated robot.
Yes, you can put the relevant information in your URDF file wrapped in a <gazebo> tag. See this tutorial on using URDF with Gazebo and this one on adding a laser scanner to the URDF.
Look at ROS 2 Migration for the ported version of the range sensor plugin.
I agree with the top answer, I tried it, it worked for me.
You can have a look at my code if you want:

The code for the sensor is plugin is in this file:
