Package Summary

Launch files used to start a youBot Gazebo RMS environment server.

About

The rms_youbot_gazebo_environment package contains launch files that can launch an example RMS Gazebo environment for use with the rms. These files will launch the simulator with a youBot world from the rail_worlds package, place a youBot into the world, and start appropriate server nodes (e.g., mjpeg_server). In addition, localization and path planning services are started via the youbot_overhead_localization package.

Installation

To install the rms_youbot_gazebo_environment package, simply run the following commands in your shell:

  •    1 cd /path/to/your/ros/stacks
       2 git clone https://github.com/WPI-RAIL/rms_youbot_gazebo_environment.git
       3 roscd rms_youbot_gazebo_environment
       4 rosmake rms_youbot_gazebo_environment
    

This will ensure all dependencies are met and that the package is ready for use.

Startup

Two launch files are included with this package: one to launch everything needed to run the entire server environment, and one to just spawn the robot into an existing Gazebo instance. To launch the entire server environment (i.e., with all server nodes such as rosbridge_server), simply run the following:

  • roslaunch rms_youbot_gazebo_environment rms_youbot_gazebo_environment.launch

If instead you wish to start Gazebo and spawn the robot without starting the actual server nodes, run the following set of commands in two shell sessions:

  •    1 roslaunch rail_worlds youbot_world.launch
       2 roslaunch rms_youbot_gazebo_environment youbot_gazebo_start.launch
