July 2025 performance summary for gazebosim/gz-sim: Implemented and stabilized physics bounding box computation for link entities, with test coverage and SDF fallback to ensure robustness across engines. This work reduces bounding-volume mismatches and improves physics culling and collision detection.

June 2025 monthly summary for gazebosim/gz-sim: Delivered Axis-Aligned Bounding Box (AABB) support for links, enabling reliable bounding-volume queries derived from collision geometries. The feature includes enable/disable controls for AABB checks, computation of AABBs by merging collision geometry bounds, and retrieval in both link-local and world frames, with tests validating end-to-end accuracy.

May 2025 — Gazebo SDFormat: Implemented AxisAlignedBox getters across core geometries and integrated with AABB calculations to improve bounding-box accuracy and performance. Introduced a custom mesh bounding-box calculator to optimize spatial queries and rendering, enabling tighter culling and more reliable broad-phase checks for complex geometries and meshes. This work establishes a scalable foundation for accurate geometry framing in simulations.

Month: 2025-03. Focused on delivering a robust velocity-checks pathway in gazebosim/gz-sim and ensuring data integrity during component state transitions. The month yielded a concrete feature, a targeted bug fix, and strengthened testing, contributing to more reliable simulations and faster development cycles.
