Revision history [back]

The animation framework is a cheat that bypasses the physics engine to move an object. A velocity is not applied to the object, instead the object's position is directly changed by Gazebo. Therefore, the physics engine will report a velocity of zero.

You could calculate a velocity manually in your program/plugin.
