Changelog for package mvsim

0.11.2 (2024-10-20)

  • Fix FTBFS in ROS 1
  • Contributors: Jose Luis Blanco-Claraco

0.11.1 (2024-10-17)

  • Great performance improvement for worlds with many (>100) block objects. Terrain elevation query function has been refactored to use a 2D hash-map instead of naively visiting all objects.
  • ROS node: use correct QoS for gridmap publication, and ensure it is published only once.
  • ROS 2: turtlebot demo: Fix RViz wrong camera topic name
  • ROS 2 1robot demo: update rviz config
  • ROS 2: Use correct QoS for (possibly namespaced) /tf & /tf_static
  • FIX: demo_1robot ROS2 launch error (wrong order in listing ros launch arguments)
  • version.h
  • Contributors: Jose Luis Blanco-Claraco

0.11.0 (2024-10-12)

  • docs: add new demo world

  • Implement moving vehicles over ramps and blocks in general
  • Remove #if for older mrpt versions
  • FIXBUG: 2D LaserScanner sensor wouldn't render custom visuals correctly if robot moves in 3D
  • Jackal robot model: Add new param "lidar2d_raytrace"
  • Finish texture partition of split meshes
  • Fix correct query point for determining elevation offset for blocks and vehicles
  • Automatically correct elevation of objects initialized on elevation maps
  • Move vehicle tilt calculation from ElevationMesh outside to World so it works with many other object types
  • source files: split simulation-related stuff into a new World_simul.cpp
  • CMake: prefer explicit file lists instead of file(GLOB ...)
  • Add getElevationAt() virtual interface for all Simulable objects
  • Update README.md

  • Use new assimp feature to improve rendering of transparent meshes
  • elevation map demo: add trees
  • docs: add link to 3D objects repository
  • fix build for ROS 1
  • ROS: publish camera_info too for each camera sensor Backwards-incompatible change: Camera topics now are named as: veh/camera_name/image_raw instead of veh/camera_name, so the corresponding camera_info exists within its same namespace: veh/camera_name/camera_info.
