what is the possible way to integrate new sensors in turtlebot3 and analyze it in gazebo simulation environment? Sensor that i want to add is VL53L0X-Time-of-Flight ranging sensor.

yes you could probably install this to raspberry pi or openCR and find a node on GitHub for this or write a node in Arduino code on openCR or on raspberry pi to reroute the data through sensor_msgs/range and maybe you could view this data through Gazebo or RVIZ

thank you for your feedback. so far, this is physical implementation of adding the sensor which I have good experience working with. However, if you have worked with turtlebot3 simulation you have seen that LIDAR is actually can be seen in the simulation and so the imu sensor data. in the similar way, i would like to add VL53L0X-Time-of-Flight sensor to my simulations.

You can introduce yourself to the Gazebo Plugins there and find/implement the Sensor Plugin for your VL53L0X-Time-of-Flight ranging sensor. Maybe you can try to modify a LaserScan plugin to your needs too, or maybe some example project can be found too (see the second and third link from the list below).
