Welcome to Robotic Simulation template for ROS 2 projects! It is designed to help you quickly start simulating robots in Open 3D Engine (O3DE) with Robot Operating System (ROS) 2.

This template has the following characteristics:

• It is the simplest and using the least resources among templates.
• Comes with Husarion ROSBot XL model, equipped with lidar and a differential drive.

An example ROS 2 navigation stack launch file is bundled with the template.
