    Humble tester here.... Another great video. Humble is starting to come together pretty well. For some reason updates were a bit wonky. A fresh install of ROS Humble on a fresh install of Ubuntu 22.04 on a bare metal partition fixed that last couple of things that were causing me problem. Things are far enough along that I am going to try to work through your series with ROS Humble and Gazebo Fortress.

    @@ArticulatedRobotics From my inexperienced position... The new (Ignition) gazebo is really good if your use case matches closely with one of the use cases Open Robotics focuses on developing, such as the Subterranean (SubT) Challenge. That is where their money and development resources have gone. I played with running the gazebo server on a dual-core Xeon server with the gazebo client running on my laptop. After a bit of fiddling, it actually worked. For the rest of us, the Ignition gazebo seems to be having a hard time replacing gazebo classic. It is probably not polished (or complete) enough to overcome the inertia of using Gazebo Classic. The next inflection point with probably be the spring of 2023 as Melodic hits end of life and more users are forced to migrate to ROS 2.

I would put the scanner around 2 m height above our head and make measurements in every room in fix position and move only among the rooms one time. The target a simple 2D layout with precise measurements with a cheap and simple device. Do you know any device like this on the market. I haven't found so far.
