Real-Time Information/Data Exchange

General

Hi everyone,

I am studying Gazebo to try to understand its capabilities and functions. One thing that is not very clear to me is whether it is possible through this software to exchange information in real-time (during a simulation) with other software on the pc or to receive and send (input and output) data from physical systems in the real world in real-time.

Thanks in advance,
Ale

Yes, you can send and receive data via Gazebo Transport. Check out the examples and tutorials.

Gazebo Trasport supports pub/sub over named topics, which is suitable for streaming data inter and intra process.
