ROS 2 Sensors Gem

The ROS 2 Sensors Gem uses the Robot Operating System (ROS) to provide sensor data generated by simulated sensors in Open 3D Engine (O3DE). It requires the ROS 2 Gem to be enabled.

ROS 2 Sensors Gem implements the following sensors:

  • Camera (including Depth channel)
  • Contact
  • GNSS
  • IMU
  • Lidar (3D and 2D)
  • Odometry
Note:
The Contact sensor requires gazebo_msgs package to be installed in your ROS 2 workspace.
