is it possible increase the maximum speed of a simulated equivalent of a real life robot in gazebo [closed]

edit

@ljaniec Has you tried it yourself?

No, because I have a real TB in the lab, so it would be irresponsible - I want to have the same setup IRL and in simulation. If you use the standard simulation in Gazebo with Turtlebot and teleop connected, you can check with the keyboard that you can accelerate from TB to higher speeds. There is no filter/damping on the speed input in the simulated TB robot. This way you can avoid changing the source code.

@ljaniec do you happen to use turtlebot2's by any chance? I posted another question about that

Yes, you can link it. I modded it to ROS2 though but maybe I can check it anyway

@ljaniec This is it here

@ljaniec I git cloned the turtlebot3_simulations to my workspace and modified turtlebot3_drive.h

#define LINEAR_VELOCITY  0.44 //0.3
#define ANGULAR_VELOCITY 2.2  //1.5

It did not seem to work. When I teleop, the linear velocity still remains at 0.22m/s.

If you check it with turtlebot3_teleop_key, you can read here: https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/turtle... that it has another set of "limits" (e.g. https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/turtle... and https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/turtle...)

You should check now two things: - a modification of the turtlebot3_teleop_key package to your needs with manual tests with teleop_key - a modification of the turtlebot3_simulations package with test with simple TestCmdVelPublisher node (for moving the TB2 in Gazebo)

@ljaniec sorry I had though I replied to this. I also wish for the max velocity to be higher when I use 2D Nav Goal, so when I'm not manually driving the robot. Do you know what files I might need to change for that?
