Webots ROS 2 packages

What it solves

It provides a way to connect the Webots open-source 3D robot simulator to the Robot Operating System 2 (ROS2), allowing developers to test and develop robot software in a simulated environment before deploying to physical hardware.

How it works

The package acts as an interface that integrates Webots simulations with ROS2 by using standard ROS2 messages, services, and actions to communicate between the simulator and the robot's control software.

Who it’s for

Robotics engineers and researchers who use Webots for 3D simulation and want to integrate their robot controllers and software stacks built on ROS2.

Highlights

  • Full integration with ROS2 messages, services, and actions.
  • Designed for the Webots open-source 3D robot simulator.
