Welcome to my Activity Log!!! My Research topic is " Co-operative mappingg by using a swarm of sensors". The first target to achieve is to build up knowledge about using Ubuntu and ROS kinetics.

Installation

Ubuntu seems new to me as i always worked on window versions of operating systems. So for me task 1 was to install Ubuntu and make myself familiar to its working. When i started Ubuntu installation, i had to face problem because my system was not ready to accept different operating system. It started screaming out loud to warn me but i keep going. After 3 failures i became successful in Ubuntu installation over the cost of data in my hard drive.

[Ubuntu Official Website]

Installing ROS

Next task was to install ROS kinetics. Installing ROS Kinetics was not difficult after watching few tutorials on you tube.

Learning ROS

Use ROS Tutorials

How to add a new Package in workspace (27-06-2017)

Insert non-formatted text here

$ cd catkin_ws // go in workspace
$ cd src //go in source directory
$ git clone https://github.com/ros-drivers/usb_cam.git  // download package
/catkin_ws$ catkin_make //go in workspace and run catkin_make
$ source devel/setup.bash   // run it
$roslaunch usb_cam usb_cam-test.launch // to launch package

Interfacing 3D Camera

Working with Lidar

Read this tutorial

http://wiki.ros.org/hokuyo_node/Tutorials/UsingTheHokuyoNode

For navigation stack

https://github.com/ut-ims-robotics/tutorials/wiki/Navigation-stack

For Lidar

first run roscore then hokuyo_node after it tf function for tf function rosrun tf static_transform_publisher 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 map my_frame 100

Then run rviz rosrun rviz rviz

To install Turtlebot Simulator

Initially i was trying to install turlebot simulator for Kinetic but it was not successful then i used this link and followed instructions. https://bitbucket.org/damienjadeduff/456_kinetic_turtlebot/src/c1860e0b451c2c4c3ba2785150f41f932df7c7fd?at=master&fileviewer=file-view-default
