Hi, I am trying to add radar plugin to my bot in gazebo, for that i got modeCRadar plugin from https://github.com/ros-simulation/gaz... , and followed the reference of use from https://github.com/osrf/uctf/commit/7... . But not able to use it has if put sensor type="logical_camera" i get below error

Unpause physics service call failed: unable to connect to service: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer Segmentation fault (core dumped)

If you just state that it's not working I can't do much for you. Please provide enough information for some one to reproduce your problem. There are many reasons that there might not be content where you expect it for example if there are no models what would it see? Are they named right etc. The ability to reproduce and isolate the problem is important. http://sscce.org/

This is not an actively supported or released plugin it was created and used for a specific project. I don't have a lot of time to dig into this. If it's quick and I can take a look. But this question does not have enough information to help you know what isn't working because I don't even know what's running.

ModeCRadarPlugin is a model plugin while you are trying to load it as a sensor plugin. This should work.

<gazebo reference="rad_link">
    <sensor name="radar" type="logical_camera">
        <visualize>true</visualize>
        <always_on>true</always_on>
        <update_rate>10</update_rate>
    </sensor>
</gazebo>

<gazebo>
       <plugin name="mode_c_radar" filename="libModeCRadarPlugin.so">
            <robotNamespace></robotNamespace>
            <radar_sensor_frameid>rad_link</radar_sensor_frameid>
            <radar_topic_ros>radar_topic</radar_topic_ros>
            <position_noise>
                <noise>
                    <type>gaussian</type>
                    <mean>0.0</mean>
                    <stddev>0.001</stddev>
                </noise>
            </position_noise>
            <known_model_types>
                <type>husky</type>
                <type>delta_wing</type>
            </known_model_types>
        </plugin>
</gazebo>
