In this ROS LIVE-Class we’re going to create a world in the Gazebo simulator for the previous differential drive manipulator we created in the previous class, so the robot can navigate around and interact with the objects.

The model of the robot was created using URDF. However, the model of the environment will be created using SDF.

We will see:
▸ How to create the world for the robot using SDF
▸ How to add models of any object you may think of
▸ How to spawn ROS based robots in the world

Part 1

Part 2

Every Wednesday at 18:00 CET/CEST. 

This is a LIVE Class on how to develop with ROS. In Live Classes you practice with me at the same time that I explain, with the provided free ROS material.

IMPORTANT: Remember to be on time for the class because at the beginning of the class we will share the code with the attendants.

IMPORTANT 2: in order to start practicing quickly, we are using the ROS Development Studio for doing the practice. You will need a free account to attend the class. Go to http://rds.theconstructsim.com and create an account prior to the class.
