Highlights

  • Citadel / Edifice / Fortress: All Ignition Math classes can now be used in Python scripts! See the tutorial to get started!

    from ignition.math import DiffDriveOdometry, PID, MassMatrix3d, SphericalCoordinates, Kmeans, etc!

  • Fortress: Support for waves on Ignition Rendering

    waves

  • Fortress: Trajectory follower plugin on Gazebo. The trajectory is performed by applying forces and torques to a link.

    trajectory_follower_opt

  • Fortress: Elevator plugin that accepts commands through Ignition Transport

    elevator

  • Fortress: Support for visual plugins on Gazebo’s GUI, and a shader param plugin

    visual_gui_plugin

  • Fortress: Support for barrel and pincushion camera distortions
