ROS node for laser obstacle avoidance for the PR2 robot in gazebo simulations
pr2_gazebo package (http://ros.org/wiki/pr2_gazebo) must be installed for these simulations to run
There are 2 ways to run the simulations,
- using launch1_pr2.launch
(1) Start an instance of the master
(2) Start the simulations with
roslaunch laser_obstacle_avoidance_pr2 launch1_pr2.launch
(3) Put in your own obstacles in the empty world
(4) In a new terminal window start obstacle avoidance with
roslaunch laser_obstacle_avoidance_pr2 obs_pr2.launch
- using launch2_pr2.launch
(1) Start an instance of the master
(2) Start the simulations with
roslaunch laser_obstacle_avoidance_pr2 launch2_pr2.launch
