ICRA2018_DJI_RM_AI_CHALLENGE_NJUST is a stack for the research of RoboMaster AI challenge, developed by team Alliance at NJUST. This repository mainly focuses on the simulation part.

At the beginning of the project, we planned to create a stack of simulation environment to test our algorithm and train our deep reinforcement learning based decision making model. Then we would put it into practice. After weeks of brokenly developing, we basically got the simulation part done with some flaw. Considering our limited time and effort, we decide to make the simulation part an open-source software stack. It will be our great pleasure if the stack do something useful during your development.

In this project, we make integrated application of ROS(Kinetic) and GAZEBO to build the simulated model training platform.

Robot simulation is an essential tool in every roboticist's toolbox. A well-designed simulator makes it possible to rapidly test algorithms, design robots, perform regression testing, and train AI system using realistic scenarios. Gazebo offers the ability to accurately and efficiently simulate populations of robots in complex indoor and outdoor environments.

• robots_description: main package of simulation environments(85% finished)
• infantry_teleop_tools: infantry teleoperation with joystick and keyboard(OK)
• infantry_2dnav: infantry navigation with the navigation stack(OK)
• Vision: armor detecting package(refer to RoboMaster open-source code)(developing)

• ROS kinetic (Ubuntu 16.04)

• Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-6500 CPU @ 3.20GHz × 4 
• NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M, 2 GB memory size
• OS type: 64-bit

Tip: Recommend not to deploy this project with virtual machine.

Please follow the installing and configuring ROS environment tutorial on ROS Wiki.

Tip: We set the "gui" parameter false as default in order to ease the computing load of GPU, if you want to get the gazebo view, you can change the false to true in the launch file.

roslaunch infantryb simulation_environments.launch

roslaunch joystick_teleop joystick_teleop.launch

roslaunch infantryb gazebo_color.launch
roslaunch infantry_2dnav move_base.launch
