A tutorial on building simulated mobile robot in ROS
For developing a mobile-robot(we are focusing on wheeled robot), the stepwise workflow we are following is as follows
- Part 1 : Create basic packages
- Part 2 : Creating URDF
- Part 3 : Converting URDF for Gazebo
- Part 4 : Simulating in Gazebo
- Part 5 : Making the Robot generic
- Ubuntu installed in laptop / PC (Normally the latest stable one, at the time of writing this article, Ubuntu 16.04)
- Appropriate ROS distro for the Ubuntu(also the latest stable one, at this time, ROS Kinetic Kame)
- Around 4-8 GB RAM for running the simulation.
