About
This repository contains a Gazebo and Isaac Sim simulation for a differential drive robot, equipped with an IMU, a depth camera, stereo camera and a 2D LiDAR. The primary contriution of this project is to support multiple ROS and Gazebo distros. Currently, the project supports the following versions -
- ROS Noetic + Gazebo Classic 11 (branch ros1)
- ROS2 Humble + Gazebo Classic 11 (branch ros2)
- ROS2 Humble + Gazebo Fortress (branch ros2)
- ROS2 Humble + Gazebo Harmonic (branch ros2)
- ROS2 Humble + Isaac Sim (branch ros2)
Each of the following sections describes depedencies, build and run instructions for each of the above combinations
Noetic + Classic (Ubuntu 20.04)
Dependencies
In addition to ROS1 Noetic and Gazebo Classic installations, the dependencies can be installed with rosdep
# From the root directory of the workspace. This will install everything mentioned in package.xml
rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y
Source Build
catkin build --packages-select bcr_bot
Binary Install
To install BCR bot in the binaries:
sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-bcr-bot
Run
To launch the robot in Gazebo,
roslaunch bcr_bot gazebo.launch
To view in rviz,
roslaunch bcr_bot rviz.launch
Configuration
The launch file accepts multiple launch arguments,
roslaunch bcr_bot gazebo.launch
camera_enabled:=True \
two_d_lidar_enabled:=True \
position_x:=0.0 \
position_y:=0.0 \
orientation_yaw:=0.0 \
odometry_source:=world \
world_file:=small_warehouse.world \
robot_namespace:="bcr_bot"
Note: To use stereo_image_proc with the stereo images excute following command:
ROS_NAMESPACE=bcr_bot/stereo_camera rosrun stereo_image_proc stereo_image_proc
Humble + Classic (Ubuntu 22.04)
Dependencies
In addition to ROS2 Humble and Gazebo Classic installations, we need to manually install gazebo_ros_pkgs (since the same branch supports Classic and Fortress)
sudo apt-get install ros-humble-gazebo-ros-pkgs
Remainder of the dependencies can be installed with rosdep
# From the root directory of the workspace. This will install everything mentioned in package.xml
rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y

About
This repository contains a Gazebo and Isaac Sim simulation for a differential drive robot, equipped with an IMU, a depth camera, stereo camera and a 2D LiDAR. ROS2 versions also include Nav2 and SLAM Tool Box support. Currently, the project supports the following combinations -
- ROS Noetic + Gazebo Classic 11 (branch ros1)
- ROS2 Humble + Gazebo Classic 11 (branch ros2)
- ROS2 Humble + Gazebo Fortress (branch ros2)
- ROS2 Humble + Gazebo Harmonic (branch ros2)
- ROS2 Humble + Isaac Sim (branch ros2)
- ROS2 Jazzy + Gazebo Harmonic (branch ros2-jazzy)
- ROS2 Jazzy + Isaac Sim (branch ros2-jazzy)
Each of the following sections describes depedencies, build and run instructions for the combinations supported by the ros2-jazzy branch.
Jazzy + Harmonic (Ubuntu 24.04)
Dependencies
Install Gazebo harmonic using ROS2 binaries:
sudo apt install ros-jazzy-ros-gz-sim ros-jazzy-ros-gz-bridge ros-jazzy-ros-gz-interfaces
Install other dependencies with rosdep.
# From the root directory of the workspace. This will install everything mentioned in package.xml
rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y
Build
colcon build --packages-select bcr_bot
Run
To launch the robot in Gazebo,
ros2 launch bcr_bot gz.launch.py
To view in rviz,
ros2 launch bcr_bot rviz.launch.py
Configuration
The launch file accepts multiple launch arguments,
ros2 launch bcr_bot gz.launch.py \
camera_enabled:=True \
stereo_camera_enabled:=False \
two_d_lidar_enabled:=True \
position_x:=0.0 \
position_y:=0.0 \
orientation_yaw:=0.0 \
odometry_source:=world \
world_file:=small_warehouse.sdf
Jazzy + Isaac Sim (Ubuntu 24.04)
Dependencies
In addition to ROS2 Humble Isaac Sim installation with ROS2 extension is required. Remainder of bcr_bot specific dependencies can be installed with rosdep
# From the root directory of the workspace. This will install everything mentioned in package.xml
rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y
Build
colcon build --packages-select bcr_bot
Run
To launch the robot in Isaac Sim:
- Open Isaac Sim and load the
warehouse_scene.usdorscene.usdfrom here. - Add in extra viewports for different camera views.
- Start the Simulation: Run the simulation directly within Isaac Sim.
- The following USDs are included in the package:
-
warehouse_scene.usd- Warehouse scene with a robot. -
scene.usd- Scene with a robot in a empty world. -
bcr_bot.usd- Robot model that can be imported into any scene. -
ActionGraphFull.usd- Action graph for the robot to publish all the required topics.
-

About
This repository contains a Gazebo and Isaac Sim simulation for a differential drive robot, equipped with an IMU, a depth camera, stereo camera and a 2D LiDAR. The primary contriution of this project is to support multiple ROS and Gazebo distros. Currently, the project supports the following versions -
- ROS Noetic + Gazebo Classic 11 (branch ros1)
- ROS2 Humble + Gazebo Classic 11 (branch ros2)
- ROS2 Humble + Gazebo Fortress (branch ros2)
- ROS2 Humble + Gazebo Harmonic (branch ros2)
- ROS2 Humble + Isaac Sim (branch ros2)
Each of the following sections describes depedencies, build and run instructions for each of the above combinations
Noetic + Classic (Ubuntu 20.04)

About
This repository contains a Gazebo and Isaac Sim simulation for a differential drive robot, equipped with an IMU, a depth camera, stereo camera and a 2D LiDAR. The primary contriution of this project is to support multiple ROS and Gazebo distros. Currently, the project supports the following versions -
- ROS Noetic + Gazebo Classic 11 (branch ros1)
- ROS2 Humble + Gazebo Classic 11 (branch ros2)
- ROS2 Humble + Gazebo Fortress (branch ros2)
- ROS2 Humble + Gazebo Harmonic (branch ros2)
- ROS2 Humble + Isaac Sim (branch ros2)
Each of the following sections describes depedencies, build and run instructions for each of the above combinations
Noetic + Classic (Ubuntu 20.04)
Dependencies
In addition to ROS1 Noetic and Gazebo Classic installations, the dependencies can be installed with rosdep
# From the root directory of the workspace. This will install everything mentioned in package.xml
rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y
Source Build
catkin build --packages-select bcr_bot
Binary Install
To install BCR bot in the binaries:
sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-bcr-bot
Run
To launch the robot in Gazebo,
roslaunch bcr_bot gazebo.launch
To view in rviz,
roslaunch bcr_bot rviz.launch
Configuration
The launch file accepts multiple launch arguments,
roslaunch bcr_bot gazebo.launch
