Gazebo

Role in the stack

The project separates simulation, rendering and communication libraries. Sensor behavior and noise are configurable, while transport allows applications to communicate with the simulation.

Integration decision

This record concerns modern Gazebo, not an unspecified Gazebo Classic installation. A robot integration should state the release, plugin set and world format.

Operational and reuse limits

Library code is Apache-2.0; model assets and dependencies can have separate terms. Simulation fidelity must be checked for the target task.
