CHANGELOG

Changelog for package kobuki_description

1.2.0 (2025-03-26)

  • Fix the changelog headers to the standard ROS ones. (#38)
  • Change kobuki_description version to match the others. (#37)
  • fixed kobuki_description (#35)
  • Make kobuki_description depend on ament_lint_auto. (#21)
  • Change to ament package, remove COLCON_IGNORE, fix missing gazebo_ros_kobuki with off-the-shelf plugins (#20)
  • Contributors: Chris Lalancette, Emerson Knapp, Waipot Ngamsaad

0.7.4 (2017-04-01)

  • redirect gazebo bumper contact sensor for the new gazebo

0.6.0 (2014-08-08)

  • update body friction and revert torque limit
  • update kobuki_gazebo.urdf.xacro to make gazebo simulation more stable.
  • Add missing run dependency on yocs_cmd_vel_mux
  • Contributors: John Hsu, Jorge Santos

0.5.5 (2013-10-11)

0.5.4 (2013-09-06)

0.5.3 (2013-08-30)

  • disables vertical rays for the cliff sensors.
  • slightly increases collision model for the base.

0.5.0 (2013-08-29)

  • fixes collision object name for gazebo contact sensor.
  • changes center cliff sensor name.
  • changes simulated IMU.
  • Added extra url info on all packages.
  • Updated old rnd email address.
  • Fix URL to the previous changelog wiki.
  • Changelogs at package level.
  • Do not use robot_pose_ekf. Instead, use imu for heading and encoders por x and y. However, parameter use_imu_heading makes trivial to switch back to the previous system.
  • corrects inertia and center of mass using an approximation.

0.4.0 (2013-08-09)

  • Many Gazebo 1.9+ related fixes.
  • Update urdf and mesh files.
  • We can recuperate the catkin version of this package because xacro has been (finally) catkinized.

Package Description

Description of the Kobuki model. Provides the model description of Kobuki for simulation and visualisation. The files in this package are parsed and used by a variety of other components. Most users will not interact directly with this package. WARNING: This package is disabled because it cannot be catkinized by now, as xacro dependency is not catkin still. In the interim we use a unary pre-catkin stack named kobuki_description.

CHANGELOG

Changelog

0.7.4 (2017-04-01)

  • redirect gazebo bumper contact sensor for the new gazebo

0.6.0 (2014-08-08)

  • update body friction and revert torque limit
  • update kobuki_gazebo.urdf.xacro to make gazebo simulation more stable.
  • Add missing run dependency on yocs_cmd_vel_mux
  • Contributors: John Hsu, Jorge Santos

0.5.5 (2013-10-11)

0.5.4 (2013-09-06)

0.5.3 (2013-08-30)

  • disables vertical rays for the cliff sensors.
  • slightly increases collision model for the base.

0.5.0 (2013-08-29)

  • fixes collision object name for gazebo contact sensor.
  • changes center cliff sensor name.
  • changes simulated IMU.
  • Added extra url info on all packages.
  • Updated old rnd email address.
  • Fix URL to the previous changelog wiki.
  • Changelogs at package level.
  • Do not use robot_pose_ekf. Instead, use imu for heading and encoders por x and y. However, parameter use_imu_heading makes trivial to switch back to the previous system.
  • corrects inertia and center of mass using an approximation.

0.4.0 (2013-08-09)

  • Many Gazebo 1.9+ related fixes.
  • Update urdf and mesh files.
  • We can recuperate the catkin version of this package because xacro has been (finally) catkinized.
