Gazebo brings a fresh approach to simulation with a complete toolbox of development libraries and cloud services to make simulation easy. Iterate fast on your new physical designs in realistic environments with high fidelity sensors streams. Test control strategies in safety, and take advantage of simulation in continuous integration tests. Full project details are available at GazeboSim.org
There are two major versions of Gazebo: Gazebo Classic, and Gazebo (formerly Ignition). Gazebo Classic releases use numbers to track versions while Gazebo uses lettered release names (e.g. Fortress, Garden, etc). A comparison between the two major versions of Gazebo can be found here. We recommend new Gazebo users start with the lastest release Gazebo Garden. Check out this video if you want to learn all about the new features in Gazebo Garden.
Looking to get started with simulations in Gazebo? Our installation guide is available here. If you want to install Gazebo and ROS together we recommend this guide. Once you've installed Gazebo start learning with our beginner tutorials.
