Multirobot Environments

pyrobosim also enables you to run multirobot environments.

Standalone

To run a multirobot world, you can use the standalone option:

cd /path/to/pyrobosim/pyrobosim
python3 examples/demo.py --multirobot

Or you can use a sample multirobot world file:

cd /path/to/pyrobosim/pyrobosim
python3 examples/demo.py --world-file test_world_multirobot.yaml

First, build and setup the colcon workspace (or use one of our provided Docker containers).

cd /path/to/colcon/workspace
colcon build
. install/local_setup.bash

You can run a ROS 2 enabled multirobot demo and interact with the GUI:

ros2 run pyrobosim_ros demo.py --ros-args -p world_file:=test_world_multirobot.yaml

In a separate Terminal, you can publish a multirobot plan:

ros2 run pyrobosim_ros demo_commands.py --ros-args -p mode:=multirobot-plan

Alternatively, you can run a single launch file:

ros2 launch pyrobosim_ros demo_commands_multirobot.launch.py

The output should look as follows:
