Gazebo Vehicles

This topic lists/displays the vehicles supported by the PX4 Gazebo simulation and the make commands required to run them (the commands are run from a terminal in the Firmware directory).

Supported vehicle types include: mutirotors, VTOL, VTOL Tailsitter, Plane, Rover, Submarine/UUV.

Tip For the full list of build targets run make px4_sitl list_vmd_make_targets (and filter on those that start with gazebo_).

Note The Gazebo page shows how to install Gazebo, how to enable video and load custom maps, and many other configuration options.

Multicopter

Quadrotor (Default) {#quadrotor}

make px4_sitl gazebo

Quadrotor with Optical Flow {#quadrotor_optical_flow}

make px4_sitl gazebo_iris_opt_flow

3DR Solo (Quadrotor) {#3dr_solo}

make px4_sitl gazebo_solo

Typhoon H480 (Hexrotor) {#typhoon_h480}

make px4_sitl gazebo_typhoon_h480

Note This target also supports video streaming simulation.

Plane/Fixed Wing {#fixed_wing}

Standard Plane {#standard_plane}

make px4_sitl gazebo_plane

Standard Plane with Catapult Launch {#standard_plane_catapult}

make px4_sitl gazebo_plane_catapult

This model simulates hand/catapult launch, which can be used for fixed wing takeoff in position mode, takeoff mode, or missions.

The plane will automatically be launched as soon as the vehicle is armed.
