@lioneleeedadad You can launch avoidance into a gazebo world, where you can run the sitl simulation in.

This is where the world is specified when you use posix_sitl.launch: https://github.com/PX4/Firmware/blob/master/launch/posix_sitl.launch#L15

You can modify the path to the world and add your own world with dynamic obstacles

Thank you for your reply … however I don’t even know how to insert dynamic obstacles into RVIZ … I know that this may not be the right place to ask that question . However would you please help me with that ?

@lioneleeedadad You can follow the gazebo tutorials: http://gazebosim.org/tutorials

RVIZ is just a visualization tool. if you dont know the difference for what you need, then it makes no sense to help you. please get in touch with the ros basics!
