discourse.openrobotics.org5 min read

Summary from the TLDR Hardware newsletter

This newly announced simulator aims to streamline swarm robotics research. By utilizing lock-step time, researchers can guarantee synchronized simulation environments for ROS2 across multiple unmanned aerial vehicles. This allows for more reliable testing of complex swarm behaviors and communication protocols before deploying code to physical drones.
