Support for force sensor

[darshanhegde]

Hello !

I was wondering if there are plans to add force sensor into the simulation environment and have examples for it in the toolbox ?

Thanks,

Darshan

Hi @darshanhegde, thank you for the suggestion, and I'm sorry for the very long delay: various life events got in the way, and since May I've been doing major work across the Robotics Toolbox, Swift and SpatialGeometry.

There's no force/torque sensor model in the toolbox at present. To provide synthetic force/torque sensor data would require integration with a physics-based simulator, something like MuJoCo or CoppeliaSim. This is on my long-term roadmap, and I'm happy to collaborate if this is still of interest to you.

If you'd like to take this further, please post an Issue describing your use case.
