OpenMowerRos1GazeboSim

Hello world, this is a trivial workflow for OpenMower Simulation using ROS1 and GAZEBO. It uses collections and amazing work of many other authors, developers and me.

Enjoy and improve the result. Sugguestions and improvements are welcome.

TODO:

install ros noetic at your system and source your environment

$ source /opt/ros/noetic/setup.bash

create catkin workspace and src directory

$ mkdir -p $HOME/catkinworkspace4openmowersimulation/src

$ cd $HOME/catkinworkspace4openmowersimulation $ catkin_make

checkout the additional gazebo model and worlds repository

$ cd src

$ git clone https://github.com/clearpathrobotics/cpr_gazebo.git

checkout the OpenMowerRos1GazeboSim

$ git clone https://github.com/mockbot/OpenMowerRos1GazeboSim.git

source the catkin development environment

$ source devel/setup.bash

setup all neccessary environments with "source ./sources.bash" from checkout directory. roslaunch gazebo_ros rosrun spawn openmower rosrun further tools for teleop or navigation (tbd)

Notes: Documentation Gazebo world with more flowers, trees, animals and robot killing lakes and rivers, a real garden like environment ROS Gazebo plugins: diff_drive, imu, gps, camera Navigation and mowing algorithms testing Having fun with easy testing and learning robotic

This is currently not: a ready to run environment
