Gazebo for ZED 2i

Software ROS2
1

Hi,

I have purchased the ZED 2i camera previously. I was looking forward to build a full working simulation in Gazebo which will describe the full product my team is working on. Later on we will proceed to a real world.

From what I saw on the github page- there is no support for the bridging the sdk camera advanced fearues in gazebo- such as rgb image stream, depth perception etc.

I’m just making sure I got it right and not missing anything.

Also- is that safe to use the urdfs from the https://github.com/stereolabs/zed-ros-wrapper/tree/master/zed_wrapper ? Although it is a ros1 and I am using ros2.

Best regards,
Vladimir Belinsky

We are not planning to support Gazebo for simulation due to visual limitations in the simulation engine that we identified while developing a plugin to stream data to the ZED SDK.

For this reason, we recommend using Isaac Sim, which is fully supported:
