Turtlebot Autonomous Exploration (3D) and using kinect2
modified
The code gedit from here,But I change it for use kinect2 and run in turtlebot. And I have change some codes, you will find it when you read the codes.It doesn't matter, you can follow origin author to download source and run the program.
Overview
This is an ROS implementation of infomation-theoretic exploration using turtlebot with a RGBD camera (e.g. Kinect). It is designed for autonomous mapping of indoor office-like environments (flat terrain). All the computation is performed on the turtlebot laptop and intermediate results can be viewed from remote PC. The output consist of both 2D and 3D Octomap (.ot) file and saved on the turtlebot laptop. Link to wiki page (where you can find a video example.).

How do I get set up?
Download from source:
my_catkin_workspace/src$ git clone
my_catkin_workspace/src$ cd ..
my_catkin_workspace$ catkin_make
Configure Network:
Please follow the turtlebot network configuration to setup.
Running:
From Turtlebot:
$ roslaunch turtlebot_exploration_3d minimal_explo.launch
$ roslaunch turtlebot_exploration_3d turtlebot_gmapping.launch
$ rosrun turtlebot_exploration_3d turtlebot_exploration_3d
- note: The octomap will be saved to the place where you do the "rosrun".
From Remote Server:
$ roslaunch turtlebot_exploration_3d exploration_rviz.launch
