Hello! I had installed hector gazebo plugins using the command "sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-hector-gazebo" . I want to model a working IMU.Since I am a beginner , can anyone explain the process that i must follow to create a bot model with an IMU in ROS or gazebo?
If you want to model a IMU in gazebo is just to insert the next code in the joint where you want to have the IMU and a gazebo topics will be published,
<sensor name='Vilma_IMU' type='imu'>
<pose>0 0.000000 0.5 0.000000 -0.000000 0.000000</pose>
<imu>
<topic>__default_topic__</topic>
</imu>
<always_on>1</always_on>
<update_rate>30</update_rate>
</sensor>
hector_gazebo_plugins does not use the IMU sensor implemented in recent Gazebo versions. You can directly add it as a model plugin without the <sensor> tag, similar to the original gazebo_ros_imu plugin in package gazebo_plugins. hector_quadrotor_gazebo contains a urdf description that uses the IMU.
