Highly Customizable Open Source Robot Simulation
summary
A refactor of Gazebo into a modular stack claims to let projects pick only the pieces they need: Ignition gazebo modular libraries, rendering, physics and GUI are separate and loadable at runtime. Worlds come from a single SDF file and plugins are C++ (ROS bindings available). Physics choices include DART, partial Bullet and a trivial TPE that forgoes dynamics and runs 10–15× faster with TPE; renderers include Ogre/OGRE2 and a user/robot view can differ, demonstrated with a pendulum and live control.
