Gazebo simulations and other things

• Project 1
• Project 2

• For building the package, go to first_project folder.

  cd Simulations/first_project

• Then create a folder named build there.

  mkdir build

• Then inside build folder, build the package as done below

  cd build/
  cmake ../
  make
  

• After that we need to set the path for the plugin to work

  export GAZEBO_PLUGIN_PATH=${GAZEBO_PLUGIN_PATH}:/home/workspace/Simulations/first_project/build

• Go to world folder and then

  gazebo submit_world6

There are 2 packages :

• my_robot - Launching the world and the URDF model
• ball_chaser - Launching 2 nodes for following the white ball

1. First source the packages in the terminal

   cd workspace

   source devel/setup.bash

2. Then launch the my_world.launch launch file

   roslaunch my_robot my_world.launch

3. Then launch the ball_chaser.launch launch file

   roslaunch ball_chaser ball_chaser.launch

4. Now set the rviz configuration so that you can see camera images, robotmodel and lasercscan

5. Now move the white ball in the gazebo so as to make the robot model follow the white ball
