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
In this post, we will see how to simulation a Flying Adhoc Network (FANET) simulation using NS3. Its actually MANET with 3D mobility Model called Gauss Markov Mobility Model. See the following video for more details and explanation: So all the nodes are flying in a 3D Fashion with X axis, Y Axis and Z Axis The default values of the three axes are X axis can be (-100m, 100m) Y axis can be (-100m, 100m) Z axis can be (0m, 100m) We will take the following example for experimenting the Flying Adhoc Networks. To begin with, We use the following parameters for Simulation: The name of the File is fanetex.cc #include "ns3/point-to-point-module.h" #include "ns3/ipv4-global-routing-helper.h" #include <fstream> #include <string> #include "ns3/core-module.h" #include "ns3/network-module.h" #include "ns3/applications-module.h" #include "ns3/mobility-module.h" #include "ns3/config-store-module.h" #include &quo
