How to create a simple dynamic (moving) environment in gazebo simulation

I have created this simple model which contains red boxes in my gazebo simulation (sdf model file created by drag and drop):

My drones detect and cover these static boxes successfully.

I would like to rather have a dynamic environment where these boxes move while the simulation is running. How can I create such a movement? Or any other way to have any kind of moving surrounding?

Thank you

There’s actually a gazebo tutorial for adding dynamics to objects: http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=an...

Essentially in the plugin you can specify alot of what’s going on (pose, velocity, color, etc).

Thank you for your answer @stevemacenski. I have tried something similar from a gazebo tutorial that uses actor but it didn't work, I read that actors are not supported in some versions of gazebo.

I also tried this, it is not working with me for some reason I don't understand. I get the following error:

gzclient: /usr/include/boost/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.hpp:648: typename boost::detail::sp_member_access<T>::type boost::shared_ptr<T>::operator->() const [with T = gazebo::rendering::Camera; typename boost::detail::sp_member_access<T>::type = gazebo::rendering::Camera*]: Assertion `px != 0' failed.

Actor only supports GAZEBO 8.0+
