Hi, there, I have a robot that is controlled by Pyro in a real-world environment. For east of testing, I'm using Stage to simulate the real-world environment. I've created a .png image of a map that I have, and I'm satisfied with how that part is working. I'm not excessively fussy about how accurate a simulation it is, but I really want to be sure that the *scale* is correct, that one meter in the real world corresponds to one meter in the simulated world, and that the simulated robot has the right relative size. I've begun to suspect that my Stage simulation is *not* the right scale, but the Stage documentation is very sparse. I'm posting this question here as well as the Stage-users list. How do I determine the correct values for the Stage configuration and world files, to ensure that the scale is correct? My second question is, given that I have a Stage simulation with a fairly detailed rendition of my real-world environment, is there any simple or semi-automated way to transform that into a Pyrobot simulation? I have some students doing a class with robotics, and I don't want to give them the complexity of Stage, but I'd really like for them to have a somewhat accurate simulation of our real-world environment to work with.
