Hi everybody I am writing a simulation that involves multiple plugins. Some time I need to pass data between the plugins, for example images or the positions. The thing is that all the plugins write on different ROS topics and I want them to robustly read/write the same topics. By "robustly" I mean that the topics are user-defined in the sdf description of the model. I would like to define some shared fields so that a topic name is used in multiple plugins without inserting the same name in all the plugin definition, is it possible? I hope I have been clear Thanks Andrea

Hi,

for ROS i would recomment using URDF and xacro. In xacro you can do exactly what you are asking for. xacro also has the possibility to hand over arguments for the configuration. This way you could change the definition for usage with multiple robot instances without modifing the config file...

if you want to use SDF and self written plugins you could think about using the parameter server to store this information...

I think I will opt for a parameter server. Thank you very much!
