General Info

robotcraft2017_patrol package for ROS Kinetic Kame

Author: David Portugal, Ingeniarius Ltd.

This package contains the basic framework to run a multi-robot patrolling experiment using the Stage Simulator and ROS.

This is part of the ROS course of RobotCraft, class of 2017.

---

Development

Robotcrafters, please inspect and modify the patrolbot.cpp source file (in the "src" folder) to program your own robots' behavior.

---

Usage

To start up the framework, please do:

roslaunch robotcraft2017_patrol robotcraft2017.launch

And in a separate terminal, run the example (3 robots at the same time):

roslaunch robotcraft2017_patrol start_robots.launch

Tip:

Instead of launching all robots together (last command), you may test each robot's behavior in a separate terminal:

rosrun robotcraft2017_patrol patrolbot robot_id:=0

rosrun robotcraft2017_patrol patrolbot robot_id:=1

rosrun robotcraft2017_patrol patrolbot robot_id:=2
