ROS SLAM Navigation Stack and Custom Robot

About ROS SLAM Navigation Stack and Custom Robot

Course Updated to ROS NOETIC :

Rating is for OLD version of this course ( for

New Comers

) , New

update

to projects and way of explanation is what you are going to love :)

Course Workflow:

We will start by creating a custom robot named as

Explorer Bot .Two wheel

Differential Drive type , created from scratch using

URDF

containing joints, links are which are going to be explored in depth. Once the robot will be created we will add

Gazebo Plugins

into it ( Differential Drive and Laser Scanner ) into

URDF

of our robot . This will lead us to driving the robot and reading laser scan values from inside of simulation. After understanding all the basics of with a Custom mobile Robot we will move to a very well known ROS package

SLAM

which contains multiple nodes for mapping a environment , we will utilize

Gmapping

Node with lidar sensor as a source . Then we will bring in a 3D mesh of a pipeline of which we create a map. After that we will create a room for Autonomous Navigation using Gazebo Model Builder tool. Out robot will perform Autonomous drivign using Navigation Stack and Path Planning algorithms from Navigation Stack .
