This package contains the necessary files to launch the different modules of the BLUE robot.

Primary LanguageC++

blue_package

This package contains the files needed to launch all the components necessaries to run the BLUE mobile robotics research platform in the ROS environment. Each directory of each package contains:

Launch files

This directory contains the files necessaries to run all the sensors and actuators, both separatelly and all together. This file depends on the ROS packages that contais the drivers for each sensor/actuator.

Parameters

This directory contains the .yaml files that include the adjustment parameters related with this robot.

URDF files

This files contains all the transformations between base_link of robot to each sensor.
