## What it is
A repository of SDF-format 3D models for the Gazebo robot simulator, serving as the model database predecessor to the Fuel app. It provides meshes, physics definitions, and model metadata for simulating robots and environments.

## Use cases
- download robot models for gazebo simulation
- find sdf models for robot simulation
- populate a simulated environment with 3d objects
- get models for ros gazebo simulation
- simulate a robot arm in gazebo

## When to choose
- you need ready-made SDF models for Gazebo Classic simulations
- you are building ROS/Gazebo robot simulations and want common objects and robots

## When to avoid
- you are using the newer Gazebo (Ignite/Fortress+) ecosystem, where the Fuel model repository is preferred
- you need a maintained model database with active updates

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: maintenance
- function: simulation, graphics
- domain: robotics, simulation
- platform: cpp, cross-platform
- tags: gazebo, sdf, 3d-models, robot-simulation, ros, physics-simulation, linux
