Abstract

Gazebo has become a popular platform for the simulation of robots and their working environment. However, it is inefficient as the number of robots increases or when the environment becomes more complex. In this paper, we investigate the program hotspot (the most time consuming program units) of two typical cases using the Intel VTune Amplifier. The results show that the simulation time increases quadratically with respect to the number of robots in the swarm robots scenario, and increases linearly as the complexity of environment becomes higher in the large-scale campus scenario.
