Multiagent Simulation for Drones, Ground Robots & Fixed Wings with Gazebo
Testing autonomous systems in simulation before deploying them on real hardware is essential — especially when working with multiple vehicles that need to coordinate. Over the past months, I’ve been building multiagent simulation frameworks for both PX4 and ArduPilot, targeting drones, ground robots, and fixed-wing aircraft in Gazebo. The goal was to make it easy to spawn multiple vehicles with configurable sensors, proper ROS 2 namespacing, and support for feeding in external odometry — all the things you need for developing SLAM, path planning, and multi-robot coordination algorithms. ...
