A set of scripts to run experiments using our parallelized Gazebo container setup. This repository has to be cloned into a subfolder of the gazebo-mental-simulation repository, but this is usually done automatically using the create.sh script in said repository.
./experiment.sh <container_name> <world_file_name><world_file_name> defines the file name inside the world_files folder with a .world extension
This will use all existing containers (as defined in containers.cfg) to run your experiment via the launch file specified in experiments.cfg. This operates on all world files in the world file directory given in containers.cfg.
The number of containers to use can be set using the optional num_containers argument, omitting this uses all available containers. Using only one container is helpful for debugging because the console outputs are garbled for more than one.
Caution: Only one container will be used with enabled GUI! Set gui="false" in experiments.cfg when more than one container shall be used.
./run_experiments.sh <num_containers>Recommended use cases:
- enabled GUI, one container: debugging, scripting development
- disabled GUI, multiple containers: productive experiment runs, benchmarking
