Install Turtlebot3 on ROS2 Foxy
Don't forget to install colcon:
sudo apt install python3-colcon-common-extensions
Install Gazebo:
curl -sSL http://get.gazebosim.org | sh
Install packages:
sudo apt install ros-foxy-gazebo-ros-pkgs ros-foxy-cartographer ros-foxy-cartographer-ros ros-foxy-navigation2 ros-foxy-nav2-bringup
sudo apt install ros-foxy-turtlebot3-msgs ros-foxy-dynamixel-sdk ros-foxy-hls-lfcd-lds-driver
Install Python libraries:
sudo apt install python3-pip
pip3 install pandas
Create a ROS2 workspace:
mkdir -p ~/turtlebot3_ws/src
cd ~/turtlebot3_ws/src
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/DaniGarciaLopez/ros2_explorer.git
Clone turtlebot original repository to have additional utilities:
git clone -b foxy-devel https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/turtlebot3.git
git clone -b foxy-devel https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/turtlebot3_simulations.git
Compile packages:
cd ~/turtlebot3_ws/
colcon build
Include following lines in ~/.bashrc:
source /opt/ros/foxy/setup.bash
source /usr/share/colcon_cd/function/colcon_cd.sh
export _colcon_cd_root=~/turtlebot3_ws
source ~/turtlebot3_ws/install/setup.bash
export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=burger
export GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH=~/turtlebot3_ws/src/ros2_explorer/explorer_gazebo/models
Add your own csv maps in this folder:
cd ~/turtlebot3_ws/src/ros2_explorer/explorer_gazebo/maps/
Run Python script:
cd ~/turtlebot3_ws/src/ros2_explorer/explorer_gazebo/
python3 gazebo-map-from-csv.py
Maps will be converted to Gazebo format in models folder. Modify the name of the map you want to use in worlds/map.world.xml:
<include>
<uri>model://map1</uri>
</include>
Launch basic simulation in gazebo loading map and robot in the initial position:
ros2 launch explorer_bringup demo.launch.py
Cartographer launch:
ros2 launch explorer_cartographer cartographer.launch.py use_sim_time:=True
Explore the map:
ros2 run explorer_wanderer wanderer
Navigation launch:
ros2 launch explorer_navigation2 nav.launch.py use_sim_time:=True
Move the robot manually:
ros2 run turtlebot3_teleop teleop_keyboard
Save a map:
ros2 run nav2_map_server map_saver_cli
Publish a goal:
ros2 action send_goal /navigate_to_pose nav2_msgs/action/NavigateToPose "{pose: {header: {stamp: {sec: 0}, frame_id: 'map'}, pose: {position: {x: 0.0, y: 0.0, z: 0.0}, orientation: {w: 1.0}}}}"
Publish waypoints:
ros2 action send_goal /follow_waypoints nav2_msgs/action/FollowWaypoints "{poses: [{header: {stamp: {sec: 0}, frame_id: 'map'}, pose: {position: {x: 0.0, y: 0.0, z: 0.0}, orientation: {w: 1.0}}},{header: {stamp: {sec: 0}, frame_id: 'map'}, pose: {position: {x: 4.0, y: 0.0, z: 0.0}, orientation: {w: 1.0}}},{header: {stamp: {sec: 0}, frame_id: 'map'}, pose: {position: {x: 40.0, y: 4.0, z: 0.0}, orientation: {w: 1.0}}}]}"
