Hi, I created an actor in Gazebo which moves following a trajectory of waypoints. I would like to know how to get the location of the actor using python. Is there a better way to move an object in simulation, like creating a model from scratch? I am using ROS Melodic, Ubuntu 18.04 Thank you.
Hi,
about how to guide the actor, you should have a look to the Actor plugin or better to the AutonomousActorPlugin. They are written in C++, but you should be able to use them at least.
About the pose, actually in C++ Gazebo API there exists a method WorldPose(). I didn't find similar API in Phyton, but you can read the gazebo_msgs/ModelStates topics that contains poses of all model in your simulation.
Hope I helped you.
