This package is a complementary package for the rrt_exploration ROS package. It provides all the needed Gazebo simulation files to bring up Kobuki robots equipped with laser scanners and ready for the rrt_exploration package.

$ sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-gmapping
4- Install ROS navigation stack. You can do that with the following command (assuming Ubuntu, ROS Kinetic):
$ sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-navigation
5- Install Kobuki robot packages:
sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-kobuki ros-kinetic-kobuki-core
sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-kobuki-gazebo
2. Installation
