  • Gazebo onboarding: "Gazebo is a 3D dynamic simulator with the ability to accurately and efficiently simulate populations of robots in complex indoor and outdoor environments. While similar to game engines, Gazebo offers physics simulation at a much higher degree of fidelity, a suite of sensors, and interfaces for both users and programs."
  • RViz visualization and MoveIt: "Rviz is the primary visualizer in ROS and an incredibly useful tool for debugging robotics. The MoveIt Rviz plugin allows you to setup virtual environments (scenes), create start and goal states for the robot interactively, test various motion planners, and visualize the output."
