📍 Overview

This project is to simulate DJI Tello drone in Gazebo to perform simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) using ORB_SLAM3.

🚀 Pre-Requisites

See prerequisites of each submodule.

Submodule Employed system
Gazebo plugins support hector_gazebo
TF and localization support hector_localization
Quadrotor controller support hector_quadrotor
Visual SLAM orb_slam3_ros
Tello model and discription tello_ros_gazebo

To evaluate the trajectory obtained, evo is required.


⚙️ Installation

git clone --recursive [email protected]:alstondu/tello_slam_gazebo.git
cd tello_slam_gazebo
catkin build

► Running

Tip

source the workspace in each terminal before entering the command.

Monocular SLAM

Launch the Main System:

Launch the system in terminal 1:

roslaunch tello_driver tello.launch

Keyboard Control (To Do: Joystick Control)

Run teleop node in terminal 2:

rosrun keyboard_teleop keyboard_teleop_node.py _repeat_rate:=10.0

Save trajectory

Before driving the drone, in terminal 3, record the predicted trajectory(/orb_slam3_ros/camera_pose) and the ground truth(/ground_truth/state) as rosbag:

rosbag record /orb_slam3_ros/camera_pose /ground_truth/state

EVO Evaluation

Convert the saved rosbag to tum format:

evo_traj bag [bag_name] /orb_slam3_ros/camera_pose /ground_truth/state --save_as_tum

Change the suffix of the files from .tum to .txt, plot the trajectories with(-a for alignment, -as for alignment and scale):

evo_traj tum orb_slam3_ros_camera_pose.txt --ref ground_truth_state.txt -a -p --plot_mode=xyz

For APE (Absolute Pose Error), run:

evo_ape tum ground_truth_state.txt orb_slam3_ros_camera_pose.txt -vas -r full -p --plot_mode=xyz

🤖 Extra Instructions

Camera Calibration

Launch the world with the calibration board and the tello in terminal 1:

roslaunch tello_driver cam_cal.launch

Run the keyboard teleop node in terminal 2:

roslaunch tello_driver keyboard_teleop_node.launch

Run cam_calibration node:

rosrun camera_calibration cameracalibrator.py --size 7x7 --square 0.25 image:=/front_cam/camera/image camera:=/front_cam

Drive the drone around the board until X, Y, Size, Skew all turn green. Click on the 'CALIBRATE' button, 'Save' the parameters and exit with 'COMMIT'.
