What it does
- Reuses the robot.yaml config parser and shared robot descriptions so a robot behaves the same in simulation and on hardware.
- Clearpath_generator_gz produces the Gazebo launch and parameter files from the parsed configuration.
- Clearpath_gz provides simulation bringup, worlds and assets, started with simulation.launch.py.
- Includes six selectable worlds: construction, office, orchard, pipeline, solar_farm and warehouse (default).
- Changes to the generators are checked against expected outputs in a separate clearpath_generator_tests repository.
- Can generate map tiles from the geotagged TIF images of the orchard, pipeline and solar_farm worlds using gdal2tiles.py.

Robots that can run it
No robot on Robotheca is linked to it yet. Links come from a robot's robot.yaml, from its dependency files read as text, or from Robotheca's editors.
