cleaning-robot

• Using opencv and costmap2d to make cleaning plan.
• Using movebase to contral robot's movement.
• Caution, I just cost one week to search this work, so it still need much more work if you want to make it runs better.
• The env of this code is Ubuntu14.04, ros_indigo, opencv2. ubuntu16.04-ros-kinetic also test passed.
