Simple sequence of movements for a robot with 3DOF?

Hello!

I made a model of a simple robot with 3 degrees of freedom. Now, I would like it to do a sequence of movements. The simulation should last around ten seconds. The only way to do this without installing ROS is a c++ plugin?

This is the sdf file of the model:

Tanks in advance!

Strictly speaking, no.

Gazebo works on interprocess communication via sockets. So if you manage to send the correct message to the correct socket via any other language, and read the information back, it is possible to make a plugin in any language.

There is a dummy interface to interact with gazebo in python, called pygazebo Check it out. There are other questions regarding python and gazebo.

If you are interested, check out the gazebo source code to create something like a plugin for other language.

If I misinterpreted your question do let me know.
