After a long time without news and updates about UWSim we are going to retake it. In this first message we will try to sum up the most important changes and additions to the simulator since the last post. We will extend these features in the next messages.

UWSim is already available for the hydro and indigo ROS distributions. Although main branch is still hydro fixes and updates are periodically moved from hydro to indigo. Both branches are compatible with OSG 3.2. 

Three new sensors are available for simulated vehicles, to know:

• Multibeam sensor: More info here.

• Structured light projector: More info here.

• Force sensor: More info here.

Finally some small features have been updated such as TF publishing, trajectory trails and bullet physics version and solver for more information visit extended news.
