In order to add an IMU to the scene we just need name and relativeTo information.

  • name: This parameters sets the camera name that will identify it.
  • relativeTo: The name of the vehicle's link where the camera is attached.
  • position: Initial position of the camera with respect to the vehicle's link.
  • orientation: Initial rotation of the camera with respect to the vehicle's link, stated in RPY.
  • std: Standard deviation of the gaussian noise added to the device.
