To Do List

Pending:

Camera:

Dummy Camera:

• Record test video from Kinect (both image and depth)

Vision:

Strategy:

• Get real information from Vision or Simulation as soon as they are created
• Create game states (running, paused, field kick, goal, etc)
• Create constants configuration file, to be used by all nodes

Simulator:

• Find out why the ball sinks through the ground sometimes
• Lower the gravity center of the robots so that they don't move over time

Documentation:

• Write about how to install Freenect, launch freenect_launch, and get the images

In progress:

Gabriel:

• Start writing vision system with dummy_frame and the old code

Tcholas:

• Start writing simulation system

Ícaro:

• Simulation: Create a simulation node, which will have a Gazebo plugin for controlling the robots and publish the state of the simulation

Done

Camera:

• Write Kinect node (using roslaunch freenect_launch freenect.launch)
• Create communication system for transmitting RGBD images

Dummy Camera:

• Create the dummy_camera node, which loads a video file and publishes it on the /camera/raw_image topic
• Create the dummy_frame node, which loads a video file and publishes its second frame on the /camera/raw_image topic
• Get image from Dummy Camera
• Create test for the dummy_camera module, which prints the images transmitted on the screen
• Transmit only one frame for testing purposes

Vision:

• Create vision node, which will subscribe to the camera topic, process the image, and publish important information about the robots, the ball, and the game in general (e.g. "/vision/robots_info")

Strategy:

• Create strategy node, which will subscribe to either the vision topic or the simulation topic and define the robots behaviour, publishing velocities in a topic (e.g. "/strategy/robots_velocities")

Simulator:

• Model the field, the robot, and the ball on Gazebo SDF files

Documentation:

• Write unit test section in the Development Guidelines
• Write about the messages for the project
