hero_common (verlab)MCADConfidence: Medium

The simulated robot's collision bodies leave a gap between 0.04 m and 0.06 m, while the real housing goes to 0.065 m; simulated IR rays at diode height pass through, so two simulated robots do not see each other like the real ones do. The fix has to go into the xacro and five generated URDFs.
