How to install suricate robot¶
In order to use this project, we must install first ROS (tested on Jade and kinectic), then compile the project and finally run some simulations and tests.
Install ROS and dependencies¶
Follow ros installation procedure:
http://wiki.ros.org/kinetic/Installation/Ubuntu
we can summarize the steps:
Open a command windows on ubuntu and run the following commands:
- Prepare ubuntu for installation:
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-key 0xB01FA116
sudo apt-get update
- Install ROS
For PC/Laptop we should install full desktop version:
sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-desktop-full
For Raspberry PI 2 and Odroid we can install ROS-Base:
sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-ros-base
Install rosdep:
sudo rosdep init
rosdep update
And finally prepare environment:
echo "source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
Compile project¶
First we need to install some dependencies and ROS packages:
sudo apt-get install libqwt-dev ros-kinetic-teleop-twist-joy ros-kinetic-rviz-imu-plugin python-smbus ros-kinetic-rqt-multiplot ros-kinetic-mavros*
Finally we create a workspace for project, clone github repository, install dependencies and compile it:
mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src
cd ~/catkin_ws/src
git clone https://gitlab.com/SIMULACION_SUBMARINA/robdos_sim -b kinetic
cd ..
source devel/setup.bash
rosdep install robdos_sim
catkin_make
Test project¶
Once the project has been compiled successfully, we can run a simulation that includes robot using a simple scenario.
cd ~/catkin_ws
source devel/setup.bash
roslaunch robdos_sim robdos_sim.launch
