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
ROS Noetic Installation Today we are going to see the installation of Robotic Operating System 1 (ROS) Step 1: What We need: This will mainly work on Ubuntu 20.04 OS Support till 2025 May. Name of the ROS: Noetic For the complete installation step by step, you can watch the video given below Step 2: Commands Here are the commands to be used one after the other. $ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list' $ sudo apt install curl # if you haven't already installed curl $ curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/ros.asc | sudo apt-key add - The above commands add the ROS to the aptitude manager and we can now install ROS1 with simple commands $ sudo apt update $ sudo apt install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev $ sudo apt install ros-noetic-desktop-full The above command need 370MB of softwares to be downloaded. So the complete package of ROS in
