AgileX Scout V2 Gazebo empty world

AgileX Scout V2 Gazebo empty world, adapted from agilexrobotics/ugv_gazebo_sim. It runs publish_cmd_vel. publish_cmd_vel: publish geometry_msgs/Twist linear.x and angular.z on /cmd_vel. TwistCmdCallback converts them to four Float64 wheel commands and stores no Twist. The receipt is transmission evidence and the values sent, not a measured velocity and not a cleared controller. A simulator: the market serves it with a stand-in that needs no simulator install.

Install

Three ways to run this device. Each one serves its fake backend: no instrument, no simulator install and no upstream checkout.

OpenAI4S (one command)

shell
openai4s lab add robots/agilexrobotics__ugv_gazebo_sim

Installs the device into the OpenAI4S Lab on its fake backend and starts it. First time? See setup below.

Or, in the workbench, open the Lab tab → Market → Install.

Standalone MHS endpoint

shell
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/PKU-YuanGroup/OpenMHS.git && cd OpenMHS
PYTHONPATH=MHS/sdk/src python3 -m mhs serve robots/agilexrobotics__ugv_gazebo_sim --port 7400
# in a second terminal, from the same directory:
PYTHONPATH=MHS/sdk/src python3 -m mhs describe --endpoint http://127.0.0.1:7400

Serves the device as an MHS endpoint on port 7400 from an OpenMHS clone (Python 3.10 or later, standard library only); describe prints what it offers.

Any MCP host (Claude Desktop, Cursor, …)

mcp configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ugv-gazebo-sim": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": [
        "-m",
        "mhs",
        "serve",
        "robots/agilexrobotics__ugv_gazebo_sim",
        "--mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PYTHONPATH": "/path/to/OpenMHS/MHS/sdk/src"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add this server to the host's MCP configuration and replace /path/to/OpenMHS with the path of your OpenMHS clone. The host starts the server and talks to it on stdin and stdout.

What it does

Measures

Nothing declared.

Adjusts

Nothing declared.

Actions

publish_cmd_vel
Publish geometry_msgs/Twist linear.x and angular.z on /cmd_vel. TwistCmdCallback converts them to four Float64 wheel commands and stores no Twist. The receipt is transmission evidence and the values sent, not a measured velocity and not a cleared controller.

Names as the driver declares them. Units, limits and the safety declaration are in the package's REFERENCE.md.

First-time setup

The OpenAI4S workbench with the OpenMHS lab, from a source checkout:

shell
# OpenAI4S workbench with the OpenMHS lab (source checkout)
git clone --recursive https://github.com/PKU-YuanGroup/OpenAI4S.git
cd OpenAI4S && ./setup.sh && source .venv/bin/activate
openai4s lab add robots/agilexrobotics__ugv_gazebo_sim
openai4s serve        # open the Lab tab

The standalone endpoint and the MCP server need only an OpenMHS clone and Python 3.10 or later. More in the market's getting-started guide and on the OpenAI4S host page.

The upstream repository asserts no licence (NOASSERTION); check it before you redistribute the upstream code.

The driver package MHS/drivers/robots/agilexrobotics__ugv_gazebo_sim wraps the upstream code at the pinned commit. Its REFERENCE.md documents the full contract: every value, action, unit, limit and the safety declaration.
