Roadmap
2025
Sig-Simulation
- Robotics gems catalog
- Support for importing USD robotics assets
- Standardization of ROS simulation interfaces
- Separating out georeference features from ROS 2 Gem
- Increased test coverage for ROS 2 Gem
- Improvements to structure and dependencies of project templates and assets
- Benchmarks & test scenes for Embodied AI
- Improved support for legged robots
- Support for ROS 2 Kilted, adding O3DE to ROS documentation
