Hi, Have you tried setting the <mu> parameters to very high values? I think that Gazebo is using the simplified friction model in ODE, you can read about it here: http://opende.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Manual_%28Concepts%29#Physics_model
This simplified model means that the value of the mu parameters is the maximum friction force in the contact point. The contact between the floor and the box is represented by a Contact Joint, you can read about them here: http://opende.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Manual_%28Joint_Types_and_Functions%29#Contact You can set some of the parameters through the gazebo xml model file, but I do not remember exactly which ones. If you go through the gazebo source code you will probably find (somewhere) what parameters are loaded from the xml file, and what default values they are given if not present. I hope this is helpful. With regards Peter Nordin On 07/27/2011 03:09 AM, Elizabeth Duane wrote: > Hello, > > I'm doing a simulation of "box-pushing" on Gazebo 0.9 .
