    Visible to the public Gazebo simulation to verify Ackermann steering model

    Submitted by sprinkle on Tue, 05/31/2016 - 2:27pm

    We use the Ackermann model for the CAT Vehicle, and you can verify the properties of the Ackermann model by turning on the center of mass/inertia properties of the simulator. We then "turn off" the Ackermann model, and note how badly the simulator behaves.
