Hello everyone,

is there any way to integrate the ros packages with reachy simulation in unity also to access sensors in reachy from unity simulation, if so it will be helpful to know about it. i have tried gazebo but just wanted to know about the support and features that unity has to offer.

Hello !
To address your question:

  1. Sensors: In Gazebo, you have access to virtual cameras and the lidar from the mobile base, but that’s about it in terms of sensors.
  2. Unity: While Unity supports virtual cameras, the mobile base (including the lidar) isn’t available. Also, Unity doesn’t communicate with ROS; it functions as a standalone simulator.

I hope this clarifies things! Let me know if you need more information.

Thanks for the clarification what are specs you recommend to run reachy in gazebo? i can load the model in gazebo but its very framey to begin with, gazebo gets too slow.

If you find that your Gazebo simulation is running slowly, it may be due to the software’s hardware requirements. Gazebo can be demanding, especially for complex models. You can check the official Gazebo hardware specifications here: Gazebo System Requirements.

Here are the Minimum Hardware Requirements for running Gazebo on a Linux machine:

  • Processor (CPU) — Quad-core Intel i5 or equivalent
  • Memory (RAM) — 4 GB or more
  • Graphics Card (GPU) — Dedicated GPU with at least 1 GB of graphics memory
  • Disk Space — Minimum of 500 MB free disk space

Hope this helps. :slightly_smiling_face:
