Driving Your Virtual Robot
Offered By: Articulated Robotics via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Simulate a virtual mobile robot in Gazebo and learn to control it using ROS. Begin by spawning the robot model, then create a launch file to streamline the process. Adjust the robot's appearance and implement a control plugin for movement. Practice controlling the robot with keyboard teleop and fine-tune its physics properties. Visualize the simulation in RViz and create an obstacle course to test the robot's capabilities. Troubleshoot common issues and gain practical experience in robot simulation and control.
