So many times as i've realized , why are the robots moving / vibrating themselfs inside gazebo? This is not good for a simulator... how can this be removed? For example right now i was watching this valkyrine robot in gazebo, and it is vibrating everything like it is afraid of something. so i asked right now.
Piggybacking off @Raskkii's answer.
Some practical steps you can take to reduce/eliminate jitter:
This related question-answer might also interest you.
Hello. This is a very old question, and I came across it now. Could you please suggest how much damping to add? Approximately what order of magnitude? I dont seem to understand the concept well. I added random damping values, and my jitter did seem to stop, however, I feel like I just used a hack, without modeling the joints correctly. Is there any way for me to get it 'right'? Thanks
The video in question is sped up so while it looks like the robot is shaking quite violently, it is actually not that bad.
Generally, there are multiple reasons that can cause a robot to vibrate: bad inertia matrices, bad physics settings, problems with joints etc. The more complex the robot is the more difficult it is to prevent it from vibrating.
For my robot arm, removing the fixed joint between the robot and the world fixed the jitters. I have no idea why.
