System Requirements for Running the VORC Environment

Recommended system setup

Hardware

In order to run the VORC environment we recommend your computing hardware has:

  • Modern multi-core CPU, e.g. Intel Core i5
  • 8 Gb of RAM
  • Discrete Graphics Card, e.g. Nvidia GTX 650

It may be possible to run without the GPU, but the Gazebo simulation will run much faster (and should run in real-time) with access to a GPU. Without a GPU the simulation is likely to run slower than real-time.

Software

The VORC software support is provided for the following software environment:

  • Ubuntu Desktop 18.04 Bionic (64-bit)
  • Gazebo 9.11.0+ (<9.11.0 is not sufficient)
  • ROS Melodic

Peripherals

We also recommend having a gamepad for testing when driving the CORA vehicle in the simulated world. In the examples we use a Logitech F310 (walmart).
