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.
In this ROS LIVE-Class we’re going to show how to create a Gazebo plugin for a robot simulated world. The plugin will allow us to connect/disconnect the light of the world by means of a ROS topic. The plugin will be created using C++.
We will use the simulation we created on the previous Live Class of a wheeled robot on a home room. Do not worry, you will receive the code of the simulation at the beginning of this Live Class (only provided to those who attend live to the class. The code will be provided during the first 5 minutes of the class, so be in time).
We will see: ▸ Which types of Gazebo plugins exist ▸ How to create a world plugin that allows you to control anything in the simulated world (very useful for Reinforcement Learning) ▸ How to add ROS to the plugin so we can use it from our ROS programs.
Every Tuesday at 18:00 CET/CEST. This is a LIVE Class on how to develop with ROS. In Live Classes you practice with the teacher in real time, at the same time that he explains the lesson 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 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. Otherwise you will not be able to practice during the class.
In this Live Class we are going to see how to apply all that we have learnt in the previous classes about Gazebo. We are going to execute ARIAC simulation made by the OSRF. We are going to learn how to manage that simulation in order to make the robots perform useful tasks in the environment. We will indicate where Gazebo plugins were applied, how SDF was used to create the environment, were ROS control was applied, where ROS navigation was applied, etc. We will see how to create a simple Python program that allows us to make the robots do useful things.
