• rvizConfig contains the configured rviz view for the project
• slam_gmapping, turtlebot, turglebot_interaction and turtlebot_simulator are official ROS packages
• scripts contains test and run scripts for the project

Build

This repository only represents the ROS package, therefore you need to create a catkin workspace.

mkdir -p catkin_ws/src
cd catkin_ws/src
catkin_init_workspace
git clone https://github.com/null-usr/home_service_robot.git

Install dependencies

rosdep -i install gmapping -y
rosdep -i install turtlebot_teleop -y
rosdep -i install turtlebot_rviz_launchers -y
rosdep -i install turtlebot_gazebo -y

Then build the workspace

cd ..
catkin_make

Run Scripts

cd src/scripts

From here, you can run

• ./test_slam.sh

  • to test SLAM

• ./test_localization.sh

  • to test localization

• ./pick_objects.sh

  • to test robot movement to object locations

• ./add_markers.sh

  • to test adding markers to the rviz scene

• ./home_service.sh

  • to launch the full simulation of a robot moving to an object, picking it up, then dropping it elsewhere
