Using this Repository

• Move into your workspace/src folder

cd path/to/ros1_ws/src/
##e.g cd ~/catkin_ws/src/

• Clone the repository in your workspace

git clone https://github.com/noshluk2/ROS-Autonomous-Driving-and-Path-Planning-SLAM-with-TurtleBot

• Perform make and build through catkin

cd /path/to/workspace_root/
##e.g ~/catkin_ws/
catkin_make

• Source your Workspace in any terminal you open to Run files from this workspace ( which is a basic thing of ROS )

source /path/to/catkin-ws/devel/setup.bash

• (Optional for Power USERs only) Add source to this workspace into bash file

echo "source /path/to/catkin-ws/devel/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc

NOTE: This upper command is going to add the source file path into your ~/.bashrc file ( Only perform it once and you know what you are doing).This will save your time when running things from the Workspace

Course Workflow

• Main robot we will be using is Turtle Bot 3 by Robotis . Package from official GitHub repository is going to obtained and then we will start to analyze how robot is launched into simulations like Rviz and Gazebo .
• After Going through multiple launch files we will create a custom launch file to bring the robot in to simulations . SLAM using Gmapping node will be executed for our custom created world containing MAZE .
• Then we will perform last project of Intruder Detection and Surveillance in which we are going to utilize Navigation stack as a main process.
