The **Gazebo simulator** has evolved significantly in recent years, transitioning from the original Gazebo classic to Ignition and the latest version, **Gazebo Sim**. Throughout this evolutionary process, new concepts have been introduced.

In this Open Class, we will explore the **ros\_gz\_bridge** package, which allows for the bidirectional transmission of data and commands between **Gazebo Sim and ROS2**.

**You will learn** :

- What is the **ros\_gz\_bridge** package?
- How to use the **ros\_gz\_bridge** for allowing bidirectional communication between **Gazebo and ROS2**
- Use the **ros\_gz\_bridge** package for starting a **ROS2 simulation**

You will be using **ROSBot XL** throughout the training

**November 7 Tuesday | 5 PM CET**
