Run different map/world in a 'for loop' to evaluate navigation algorithm

Hi all,

I want to analyze my path planner algorithm, so I must to load hundreds map in Rviz and Gazebo in a sequence and record the generated control commands. In each map, this code will record control commands for evaluating the path planning algorithm.

Is it possible to load different map/world files in a "for loop" (sequence of worlds)?

i'm not familiar with a way to change world files using ROS tools...

A few workarounds -

If your "worlds" are composed of a small number of models it could be easy enough to use gazebo_ros's tools to spawn and delete models, and to reposition your robot as needed.
alternately, if you don't mind killing and restarting all your nodes, this should easy enough to manage with a bash or python script
