In this post, we will see how to make a robot follow another robot. We’ll make the iRobot follow the big turtle all around the world when it moves, using ROS TF broadcaster and listener nodes. PS: This ROS project is part of our ROS Mini Challenge series, which...
In this post, we will see how to make a robot detect and avoid an obstacle in its front. We will move the robot forward until it detects there’s an obstacle (the wall) closer than 1 meter. Then, we will stop the robot so that it does not collide with the wall....
In this post, we will see how to configure MoveIt to make a manipulator robot execute a trajectory based on a Position Goal. We send a Position Goal to the manipulator, and the robot computes and executes a trajectory plan in order to reach this goal. PS: This ROS...
In this post, we will see how to write a ROS program (in Python) to make a robot rotate according to user input. We are going to fix an error in the code that prevents this program from working as we go on. PS: This ROS project is part of our ROS Mini Challenge...
How can you test the ROS programs you are developing for a robot? If you are building a program for a robot, you have to make sure that it works properly, and for that, you need some tests. If you think that you should test your programs directly on the robot, think...
Hey ROS Developers! In this post, we are going step-by-step to install ROS Melodic in a fresh Ubuntu 18.04. I’m using a regular desktop computer, the one I use to support me on ROS development. Let’s do it! Step 1 – Configuration The first step is...
