Obstacle Avoidance Robot Simulation

Building a differential drive robot which can avoid obstacles. The robot design and other requirements can be found in this PDF.
This work was done taking reference from here.

Prerequisites

Getting Started

  1. Clone this repository.
  2. Run catkin_make for both catkin_ws and simulation_ws.
  3. Launch your terminal and run the command roslaunch my_worlds <world_name>.launch. This will launch the gazebo enviroment
  4. In another terminal, run the command roslaunch robot_description spawn.launch. This will load the robot in the environment at origin. It can be spawned at different location by giving additional arguments like x:=3 y:=8 z:=7.
  5. In another terminal run rosrun motion_plan obstacle_avoidance.py. This will start the robot and obstacle avoidance algorithm.
