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
Emission of Gases by Vehicles using SUMO In this post, we will be discussing how floating cars can emit gases namely Carbon Monoxide (CO) Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Hydro Carbons (HC) Particle Matter (PMx) Nitrous Oxide (NOx) SUMO generates this emission of gases based on the EU4 norms. How to capture these gases in our simulation? The following video contains complete information Prerequisites 1. SUMO to be installed in Ubuntu ( SUMO installation ) 2. Python3 to be installed 3. Knowledge of XML files The following is the image of the road design I have created, there are a totally of 6 junctions ( 0 to 5) and two edges from one junction to another intersection (each edge has two lanes). All the junctions are priority junctions except 2 and 5. These junctions are traffic light junctions. Custom road design in SUMO We are going to design a custom road. In our machine, I will store all the files in a folder called /home/pradeepkumar/customroad Step 1: Creation of a node file that conta
