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

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

VANETs using NS3 - Part 1

VANETs using Ns3 and SUMO - Example 1 SUMO, open street maps and VANETS using ns2. VANETs, SUMO, ns3 and open street Maps. sumo software - Install this software, refer my previous video sumo 1.2.x Check the following video for full instructions. Compile it from the source. Download sumo.1.2.x....tar.gz git clone command.... Softwares used: ns-3.29 sumo 1.2.0 OSM - Open street Map (osmWebWizard.py) Step 1 $] cd sumo/tools $] python osmWebWizard.py Select the cars, buses, motorcycles, etc. and generate the scenario, sumo-gui automatically pops up. Step 1: Create the Sumo-gui or Sumo configuration file using the above method. Step 2: Create the mobility.tcl Step 3: run the ns2-mobility-trace.cc file with nodeNum, duration, logFile, etc. Step 4: Include the NetAnim Code and run the simulation. Step 2: Mobility.tcl file (How to create) $] sumo -c osm.sumocfg --fcd-output trace.xml $] cd && cd sumo/tools $] python traceExporter.py -i trace.xml
