How to run the simulator

Install Dependencies

Make sure you installed ROS noetic or install it following the steps here: ROS wiki

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y
sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-moveit-*
sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-joint-* 

Buid the Workspace

catkin_make

Run the simulator
⚠️ It's easier to put export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=waffle_pi in the .bashrc
Terminal 1

source devel/setup.bash
export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=waffle_pi
roslaunch turtlebot3_manipulation_gazebo turtlebot3_manipulation_gazebo.launch

Terminal 2

source devel/setup.bash
export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=waffle_pi
roslaunch turtlebot3_manipulation_moveit_config move_group.launch

Terminal 3

source devel/setup.bash
export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=waffle_pi
roslaunch turtlebot3_manipulation_moveit_config moveit_rviz.launch

Run Solution Packages

Robot Control package

rosrun move_robot move_robot.py

Gather Image Data

Open Three Terminals

source devel/setup.bash
export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=waffle_pi
roslaunch solution gather_image_data.launch

source devel/setup.bash
export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=waffle_pi
cd src/turtlebot3_manipulation_simulations/turtlebot3_manipulation_gazebo/scripts
python3 spawn_three_balls.py

source devel/setup.bash
export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=waffle_pi
cd src/perception/image_data
rosrun perception get_image_data.py

• Start the simulator
• Repeat for each test case

Gather Distance and Radius Data

Open Two Terminals

source devel/setup.bash
export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=waffle_pi
roslaunch solution gather_distance_radius_data.launch

• Set the blue ball coordinates from the simulator to (x=2.5, y=0.0)

• Start the simulator

• from the directory you want the .csv file to be saved to

source devel/setup.bash
export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=waffle_pi
rosrun solution radius_to_distance.py

Run The Final Solution

source devel/setup.bash
export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=waffle_pi
roslaunch control solution.launch
