Gazebo Vehicles

This topic lists/displays the vehicles supported by the PX4 Gazebo simulation and the make commands required to run them (the commands are run from a terminal in the PX4-Autopilot directory).

Supported vehicle types include: mutirotors, VTOL, VTOL Tailsitter, Plane, Rover, Submarine/UUV.

TIP

For the full list of build targets run make px4_sitl list_vmd_make_targets (and filter on those that start with gazebo_).

Note

The Gazebo page shows how to install Gazebo, how to enable video and load custom maps, and many other configuration options.

Multicopter

Quadrotor (Default)

make px4_sitl gazebo

Quadrotor with Optical Flow

make px4_sitl gazebo_iris_opt_flow

3DR Solo (Quadrotor)

make px4_sitl gazebo_solo

Typhoon H480 (Hexrotor)

make px4_sitl gazebo_typhoon_h480
