The UUV Simulator is a package containing the implementation of Gazebo plugins and ROS nodes necessary for the simulation of unmanned underwater vehicles, such as ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) and AUVs (autonomous underwater vehicles).

To send questions and/or issues, please refer to the repository’s issues page.

Purpose of the project¶

This software is a research prototype, originally developed for the EU ECSEL Project 662107 SWARMs.

The software is not ready for production use. However, the license conditions of the applicable Open Source licenses allow you to adapt the software to your needs. Before using it in a safety relevant setting, make sure that the software fulfills your requirements and adjust it according to any applicable safety standards (e.g. ISO 26262).
