ROS Programming: Building Powerful Robots

Running the simulation

To simulate the robot, you may need to satisfy some dependencies. The differential robot controller used in our simulation is of Turtlebot. So we have to install Turtlebot packages to get those plugins and run the simulation:

    $ sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-turtlebot-simulator ros-kinetic-turtlebot-navigation ros-kinetic-create-node ros-kinetic-turtlebot-bringup ros-kinetic-turtlebot-description

You can also install ROS packages such as chefbot_bringup, chefbot_description, chefbot_simulator to start the simulation. You can copy these package into your ROS workspace and launch the simulation using the following command:

    $ roslaunch chefbot_gazebo chefbot_empty_world.launch

If everything is working properly, you ...
