I'm new to Gazebo. What's the easiest way to let the robots communicate with each other?
What I really need is local communication, meaning a robot will only be able to communication with another if they are within a certain range, say 1m, of each other.
You could write a model plugin that communicates over a topic using a custom protobuf message that includes the sender's pose. The recipient of the message will have to check the pose to make sure it's within range.
Alternatively, you could write a World Plugin to manage communication. Use one topic for outbound traffic, which is received by the world plugin and passed along to robots that are within range on a different topic.
