Running the Komodo gazebo simulation

Description: This tutorial covers the required steps for running the Komodo gazebo simulation

Keywords: komodo gazebo simulation

Tutorial Level: ADVANCED

Preliminary Setup

First make sure you have the latest ric meta-package installed from https://github.com/robotican/ric.git (branch: indigo-devel). See Section 1.4 of the robot installation tutorial.

Then install the hector-gazebo and ros-controllers packages: 

$ sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-hector-gazebo ros-indigo-ros-controllers

Launch

To launch the simulation with default parameters run: 

$ roslaunch ric_description komodo_gazebo.launch

You can change the robot id and initial position and orientation by editing the launch file.

To launch multiple robots in the same simulation launch the multi_komodo_gazebo.launch file: 

$ roslaunch ric_description multi_komodo_gazebo.launch
