robot-modelling's Introduction
Explanation of URDF Files and Launch ROS Files
Install and use RVIZ and Other Packages
"sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-rviz"
"roscore"
Go to new terminal "rosrun rviz rviz"
Install for URDF modeling
"sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-urdf"
"sudo apt-get install liburdfdom-tools"
Create the Workspace and Catkin Package
"mkdir -p ~/robot_ws/src"
"cd ~/robot_ws"
"catkin_make"
"source ~/robot_ws/devel/setup.bash"
"echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH"
"cd ~/robot_ws/src"
"catkin_create_pkg robot_model_pkg roscpp tf2 geometry_msgs urdf rviz joint_state_publisher_gui"
roscpp: cpp and ROS.
tf2: Lets the user keep track of multiple coordinate frames over time.
geometry_msgs: Messages for common geometric primitives such as points, vectors, and poses.
urdf: C++ parser for URDF package
rviz: RVIZ
joint_state_publisher_gui: Contains a GUI tool for setting and publishing joint state values for a given URDE
Create the URDF file and launch file.
"cd ~/robot_ws/src/robot_model_pkg"
"mkdir urdf"
"mkdir launch"
"cd urdf"
"gedit robot.urdf" You can find it in README.md file.
"cd .."
"cd launch"
"gedit robot.launch" You can find it in README.md file.
"cd ~/robot_ws/"
"catkin_make"
If your "joint-state-publisher-gui" couldn't found, you can solve this problem with "sudo apt install ros-melodic-joint-state-publisher-gui"
Test.
Go to new terminal and write "roscore"
Then return the terminal you changed adn write "roslaunch robot_model_pkg robot.launch".
Now you will see RViz screen. Click "add" and select "robot model".
Change the fixed frames name from "map" to "base_link"
Then click "Save Configg as", go to "robot_model_pkg" and name it "robot.rviz"
"cd robot_model_pkg/"
"cd urdf/"
"gedit robot.urdf" You can find this file inside of the README.md
"roslaunch robot_model_pkg robot.launch"
Now you are able to control the green box from small GUI.
Xacro and URDF to Parametrize and Model Robots in RViz
Go to a clean termianl and write "sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-rviz"
Go to new terminal and start ros by "roscore"
Go back to first terminal and run "rosrun rviz rviz"
Installations.
"sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-urdf"
"sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-xacro"

rviz: RVIZ
joint_state_publisher_gui:
xacro: XACRO
Create the XACRO and Launch files.

"gedit robot.xacro". You can find the content in related README.md
"cd ~/robot2_ws/src/robot2_model_pkg/launch"
"gedit robot_xacro.launch" You can find the content in README.md
Return the original workspace "cd ~/robot2_ws"
"catkin_make"
"roslaunch robot2_model_pkg robot_xacro.launch" (If you close the roscore we ran in step 2, go a new terminal an start before this line)
Add->Robot Model
Change the fixed frame name from "map" to "base_link"
Add "TF", now you can see objects names.

Simulate the robot motion in Gazebo
We have three robot opitons. Burger, Waffle, and Waffle Pi. Now we will select the "burger"
"export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=burger"
Launch the world
Empty World: "roslaunch turtlebot3_gazebo turtlebot3_empty_world.launch"
Another World: "roslaunch turtlebot3_gazebo turtlebot3_world.launch"
Teleoperation Node:
Go to the new terminal
Specify the source "source ~/test_turtlebot/devel/setup.bash"
Specify the model "export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=burger"
Launch the teleoperation node "roslaunch turtlebot3_teleop turtlebot3_teleop_key.launch". Now w are able to control the robot.
Final test
Go to new terminal "cd ~/test_turtlebot"
