  1. Reorganize px4-firmware repo:
    • Forked sitl-Gazebo and added as submodule, in order to create bambi world and models.
  2. Set up simulation to develop and test obstacle avoidance:
    • Add iris_rplidar model in bambi world. N.B to make the lidar works properly we had to change rayGPU plugin to the standard ray plugin which instead uses CPU. Moreove we notice strange outputs when the drone is in flight (random short distances,less then 35cm, outputs) so we increase the minimum detected distance to 40cm which is a bit more than the iris frame dimension.
    • Disabled down-facing lidar as suggested in https://github.com/PX4/Firmware/issues/9156 otherwise Gazebo crashes reporting segmentation fault.
