Getting started

This page helps you get started with this project

As mentioned in the previous page this project is about controlling a real-life robot based on a simulated world. The video below shows you the entire process of starting up the project and carrying out a movement command.

As the robot runs ROS1 Noetic, first, a roscore process is started on it. Then, a ros2/ros1 bridge is launched on the container. Afterwards, Gazebo is started with the simulated world, the robot model is spawned and a position update script is launched. Finally the ROSbot's drivers and the navigation components are started.

You can access the project here.

In the next pages the various elements of this example will be explained to you. Experiment and use them to create your own project!
