simulate gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer, and GPS?

Question

Hi I'm working on project for localization of cars, and I use accelerometer, gyroscope and GPS, (perhaps I will need magnetometer) I need to know if your simulator can be used in my case (before reading all the documentation) and I prepared this list of questions (according to answers, I will decide to use it or not ) : can it

1. Simulate gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer, and GPS ?
2. Simulate the sensor errors ? can I choose the error's variance ?
3. work with C language ?
4. Can I make scenarios ( for 2 ~ 5 minutes )?
5. from where I can read the simulated output ? socket (TCP/IP protocol) or files like in /dev/* ?

Any ideas anyone?

Answer 1

1. Gazebo has IMU, Camera (2d & 3d), magnetometer, GPS, and many more sensors.

2. You can add noise to many of the sensors. Gaussian noise is built into gazebo, but you can extend this functionality.

3. The API uses c++

4. There is no limit on the size of an environment, or the amount of time you want to run simulation.

5. Data is available via TCP/IP, through a library interface, and you can also write custom plugins to handle other cases.
