Simulation of URDF, Gazebo and Rviz | ROS Noetic Tutorial 8

By
Design a User-defined robot of your choice (or you can use the URDF file) and enable the LIDAR Scanner so that any obstacle placed on the path of the light scan will cut the light rays. Visualize the robot in the Gazebo workspace, and also show the demonstration in RViz.   (NB: Gain knowledge on wiring URDF file and .launch file for enabling any user-defined robot to get launched in the gazebo platform.) SLAM : One of the most popular applications of ROS is SLAM(Simultaneous Localization and Mapping). The objective of the SLAM in mobile robotics is to construct and update the map of an unexplored environment with the help of the available sensors attached to the robot which will be used for exploring. URDF: Unified Robotics Description Format, URDF, is an XML specification used in academia and industry to model multibody systems such as robotic manipulator arms for manufacturing assembly lines and animatronic robots for amusement parks. URDF is especially popular with users of the Robo

Inter Process Communication (IPC)

Interprocess Communication (IPC)
A process (task or ISR) generates an input information by setting or resetting a flag or value or generates an output, which will be used by some other process.

Various techniques behind IPC are
  • Signals
  • Semaphores (Counting semaphore or binary semaphores)
  • Message Queues, Mailboxes and Pipes
  • Virtual Sockets
  • Remote Procedure calls (RPC) for distributed Processes
